Fudge-Tastic Brownies (Vegan + Gluten-free + Grain-free + Nut-free)
by Leanne (Healthful Pursuit)
Lightly adapted from Elana’s Pantry
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed frozen banana or 1/2 cup date puree (approximately 6-8 dates soaked in 1 cup water for an hour, drained, then blended to make 1/2 cup mixture)
- 1 cup roasted sunflower butter
- 2 tbsp ground chia seeds, mixed with 3 tablespoons water to form a paste
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2 tbsp honey, brown rice syrup, or date syrup
- 1/4 cup xylitol
- 10 drops stevia concentrate
- 1 tbsp gluten-free vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan rock salt
- 1/2 tsp gluten-free baking soda
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F and prepare an 8×8 baking dish with coconut oil. Ensure all nooks and crannies are well oiled. The mixture naturally has oil, so I didn’t bother using parchment.
- In a food processor , combine bananas, sunflower butter and chia seed mix. Process until smooth.
- Add in coconut oil, date syrup, xylitol, stevia and vanilla. Again, process until smooth before adding cacao, salt and baking soda
- Transfer batter into a well greased 8×8 inch Pyrex baking dish and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the sides begin to get golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Cut in the pan into 16 squares and have at ‘er!
