COCO-NUTTY BROWNIE CRUNCH by The Fit Foodie This is one delicious super-food treat. Soft, chocolatey and crunchy, it really doesn’t get any better than this. Oh, did we mention it’s made with only healthy ingredients? Uh-huh. COCO-NUTTY BROWNIE CRUNCH Recipe is: Dairy free, Gluten free, refined sugar free and vegan SERVES: 12 brownies INGREDIENTS For the brownie: ¾ cup raw almonds 2 tablespoons ground flax ¼ cup prunes, dates or raisins 3 tablespoons raw cacao ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 2 teaspoons coconut paste/butter ¼ cup coconut water (as needed) For the crunch: 1 tablespoon rinsed quinoa ½ tablespoon goji berries ½ tablespoon pepitas 1 tablespoons coconut flakes ½ tablespoon cacao nibs ½ tablespoon pistachios, chopped For the coconut drizzle 1 tablespoon coconut paste / butter, warmed For the chocolate drizzle 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder 1 tablespoon rice malt syrup or sweetener of choice 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted METHOD: In a food processor, blitz the almonds until finely chopped. Add remaining brownie ingredients, adding the coconut water at the end – just add as much as required to form a dough. Using the back of a spoon, press dough into a small brownie pan until 1cm thick. Top with ‘crunch’ ingredients and press down firmly. Make raw chocolate by stirring together chocolate drizzle ingredients until smooth, then pour slowly over the crunch layer. Repeat with coconut drizzle, then refrigerate for 1 hour. Slice and serve. Tips: - You can use any nuts or seeds for the crunch layer – use whatever you have available! - If you can’t find coconut paste, coconut butter will work just as well.
