Raspberry Brownie

Put your hand up if you LOVE brownies?! I sure do! 

This Raspberry Brownie is lushes and rich, and delectably moist. It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and Adrenal Diet friendly (after the initial 2-week blood-sugar reset elimination - just don't eat the whole tray, haha!).

Raspberry Brownie

Ingredients

• ⅔ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• ⅔ cup raw cacao powder
• 1 cup almond meal
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ⅓ cup chocolate chips (dairy free)
• 1 cup frozen raspberries, roughly chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Line a baking pan with baking paper.
3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then add in the cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar and vanilla and mix together.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Add the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the frozen raspberries and stir through.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin.
6. Add the remaining ½ cup of chopped frozen raspberries to the top of the batter evenly.
7. Cook for 20-25 min (less if you like it more fudgy, more if you like it more biscuity)
8. Wait until cooled before cutting and serving with some coconut yogurt or coconut cream.
