SUGARLESS BROWNIES


                                                                                                           I had a serious hankering for some homemade chocolate brownies, so to satisfy my cravings I concocted a healthier recipe by substituting most of the ingredients for healthier options. I could have gone one step further and used coconut oil instead of butter, but there's only so much coconut oil a girl can take. The ingredients may be a little on the pricier side of things, but these bad boys tasted no different from the original double-the-caloire recipe, so totally worth the money in my book!

INGREDIENTS
220g butter
200g 75% dark chocolate
20g raw cacao
100g oat flour
25g ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
360g stevia
4 eggs
75g walnuts

METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease and line the bottom of a 24cm tin.
2. Melt the butter and the chocolate in a bain marie. Add the chopped nuts in when it has completely melted.
3. To make your oat flour, blitz oats in a food processor until it resembles a flour texture. Mix together with the cacao, ground almonds, baking powder and stevia until it is all combined.
4. Combine the chocolate mixture with the flour mixture. Beat the eggs until silky and add to the mixture. Pour into the tin and bake for 25 minutes.
