Don’t you hate the feeling when you walk into a café and see those large chunky brownies dripping in sweet chocolate elegantly placed in lovely glass containers? You consider buying it for a second but deep down you know it will probably be over half your daily calorie intake and opt for a muesli bar instead. Café style brownies are what inspired the creation of my goji berry double choc brownies. Containing two superfoods; goji berries and chia seeds, meaning they are actually GOOD for you and also super easy to make!
INGREDIENTS
Brownie:
1 cup of dates
1 cup of walnuts
½ cup shredded coconut
2 tbls raw cacao
2 tbls coconut oil
2 tbls rice malt syrup
2 tbls chia seeds
1 tbls almond spread
½ cup goji berries
1 tsp vanilla essence
Chocolate sauce:
2/3 cup coconut oil
2 tbls raw cacao
2 tbls rice malt syrup
METHOD
For brownie:
- Soak dates in hot water for 5 minutes (I usually soak them while I prepare ingredients) and then spoon out the dates and place in processor until crushed.
- Process walnuts, coconut, coconut oil, rice malt syrup, chia seeds, almond spread, goji berries and vanilla in together until mixture sticks together (you may have to add some extra rice malt syrup if needed).
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread into pan and pop in the fridge.
For chocolate sauce:
- Blend coconut oil, cocao and rice malt syrup together and pour over brownie mixture.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes and serve!
