1/4cup+ 2 T coconut oilcan sub for vegetable or canola oil
225gramsdark chocolatechopped roughly (I used a 100% cocoa one, for a dark taste)
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
3/4cupcoconut palm sugar
2large eggscan sub for 1 flax egg or ener-g egg replacement
1/4cupraspberriesfresh or thawed from frozen
2tablespooncocoa powder
3tablespoonarrowroot powdercan sub for corn starch if not strictly paleo
1/2cupBlue Diamond slightly salted almondschopped finely (can sub for chocolate chips or chunks)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 pan with greaseproof paper or tin foil, with some overlay for easy removal. Grease it lightly and set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, combine your chopped chocolate with coconut oil and melt together- The mixture should be silky smooth. Add your vanilla extract and mix lightly.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and add your eggs and coconut palm sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Add your raspberries, cocoa powder and arrowroot powder and whisk VERY well, until the batter is no longer grainy and smooth. Stir through chopped almonds until fully incorporated.
Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes, or until the centre just comes out clean. Do not over bake. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan completely. If possible, once cooled, transfer to the fridge to chill for the best texture.
Notes
Do not over bake- Brownies may not look 'cooked' but once cooled, they will firm up. Brownies can be kept for up to 5 days in the fridge and are freezer friendly.
