Paleo chocolate brownies

This is my first time cooking with coconut flour and it worked really well! The brownies are more chocolate cake than gooey brownie but still delicious.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup coconut flour
3 tbsp raw cacao powder
pinch of himalayan salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
4 eggs
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp chopped pecans

Method:

Mix the flour, cacao and salt. Stir in the eggs, vanilla essence and honey and blend with an electric mixer or in food processor/blender. Then add the melted coconut oil and mix well. Finally stir in the chopped pecans.

Spread mixture into a lightly oiled baking tray and cook in preheated oven at 180degrees C (350F) for about 20 minutes - keeping an eye on them so they don't over-brown.

Serve warm.

Fave new breakfast/dessert

So I made the most delicious breakfast to take to work this morning - who says you can't have chocolate for brekkie and still feel virtuous? Try it!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp raw cacao powder
2 tbsp chia seeds
200ml almond milk
1/2 tbsp lucuma powder (optional but adds a bit of sweetness)
1/2 banana finely sliced
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Mix the cacao, lucuma and cinnamon with a little almond milk gradually until you have a smooth paste. Then slowly add the rest of the milk and the chia and mix well (you could also blend if you prefer it smoother). Stir in the sliced banana and leave overnight.

Result - a delicious chocolately breakfast or dessert. Low carb, gluten-free, high antioxidants, and NO added sugar. Amazing.
