Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • Coconut sugar (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds + 6 tablespoons water (flax eggs)
  • Almond flour
  • Raw cacao powder
  • Virgin coconut oil
  • Vanilla bean paste
  • Flaky sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare flax eggs by whisking ground flaxseeds and water; let sit for 10 minutes until gelatinous.
  3. Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil over a bain-marie, stirring until smooth; remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. Whisk coconut sugar and vanilla bean paste into the melted chocolate, then fold in the thickened flax eggs.
  5. Sift in almond flour, cacao powder, and sea salt; fold ingredients gently without overmixing.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared tin, smooth the top, and bake for 25-30 minutes; let cool completely in the tin.
  7. Transfer to the fridge for at least 2 hours, then cut into heart shapes using cookie cutters.

Notes

Ensure brownies are fully cooled before cutting for clean edges. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
