Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup natural, unsalted almond butter
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 10 mins)
• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons oat flour
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ vegan chocolate chips
• ¼ teaspoon coconut oil

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup and coconut oil. Whisk until it resembles grainy caramel.
• Add cocoa powder in ¼ cup increments, whisking until shiny and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Whisk in vanilla and salt.
• Add flax eggs in, whisking until well incorporated. In thirds, whisk in the oat flour. As the batter gets harder to whisk, switch to folding with a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
• Fold in ½ cup pecans and ¼ cup chocolate chips. Pour batter into pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth into an even layer.
• For the topping, sprinkle ½ cup pecans evenly over brownies. Press pecans down into the top of the brownies.
• Bake for 28-32 minutes. Mine took 30 minutes. Cool for 1 hour, or until completely cool. Lift brownies out of baking pan and place onto an even surface. Slice into 16 squares. Using a rubber spatula or fork, nudge brownies apart, creating some space in between them.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, add ¼ cup chocolate chips and ¼ teaspoon coconut oil. Heat in 20-second increments until softened and melted. Stir until smooth. Spoon melted chocolate into a small zip bag and trim a tiny corner off. Pipe chocolate in a zigzag pattern across the top of each brownie. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
