1chia egg1 tbsp chia seed powder with 3 tbsps of water
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
1/8cupcrushed roasted peanuts
1/8cupchocolate chunks / chips
Instructions
Prepare chia egg and set aside for 5-10 mins. It will start turning into a gooey liquid.(I used white chia seeds).
Sieve peanut flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Add coconut flour and mix thoroughly.
In another bowl, dissolve coconut sugar in coconut milk. Add the chia egg, vanilla extract, oil and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches until no lumps are seen.
Preheat oven @180c. Align a parchment sheet on a 9 inch brownie pan. I covered the pan on all sides using a parchment sheet. Hence there was no necessity to grease the pan with oil.
Add the peanuts and Chocolate chunks of your choice to the batter and mix gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently spread / flatten it using a spatula.
Bake @ 180 for 25-28 mins.
Allow it cool completely and slice. Before serving, decorate with chocolate sauce or melted dark chocolate.
