For the brownies
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 6 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the topping
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/3 cup unreal crispy quinoa gems
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line an 8×8″ brownie pan with lightly greased parchment paper.
- Using a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flax and water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Add the coconut oil, almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until fully combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, tapioca starch, almond flour and salt to the wet ingredients and stir until a batter forms.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to evenly spread. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until baked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and coconut cream together, stirring until melted and well incorporated. Allow to cool slightly.
- Carefully pour the ganache over the brownies, evenly spreading over the brownies. Once the ganache is cool to the touch, place the unreal gems all over the brownies.
- Transfer the brownies to the fridge for an hour to allow them to fully set and lightly chill. Slice into 9 slices and serve chilled, storing leftovers in the fridge.
Notes
These brownies also freeze well! Wrap them tight and freeze for up to a month.
