I love this brownie recipe.
Technically I love the original. A friend brought a few pieces once when she was visiting and I fell in love with it. Few days later she gave me the recipe and I started making it myself. Honestly, it is so good that I could eat the entire tray myself. I skipped a few of the ingredients she gave me, simply because I don't like them, but it is still a delicious, soft and moist brownie magic.
Remember when I said I've been keeping a diet for time time now? Well, I had to give this guilty pleasure of mine up. Until I came up with the idea for the healthy substitute. And when I made it the first time it was yet another surprise - very tasty, very savoury and still kind of juicy.
So, here's what you're gonna need for you healthy, gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free brownie:
- 3 cups flour(I usually combine all the flours I have at home - spelt flour, buckwheat flour, millet flour, rice flour, carob flour; there is no exact proportion - just kix them together to get the needed quantity)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 6 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 3/4 cup sunflower oil
- 2 cups cold water
- 5-6 tablespoons honey(if you like a sweeter taste, put few more spoons)
The preparation is really easy - first you combine all dry ingredients, I aslo put them through a sieve. Then add all the liquids and stir until you get a homogeneous mixture. Here's another trick of mine - before I put the honey, I heat it on the stove. I am not really sure if it helps the batter in any way, but the aroma in the kitchen is incredible.
Not it's redy for baking. You'll need your oven preheated to 180 C and it will take about 45 kinutes to bake. BUT. I always check it with a toothpick, because the size and the depth of the tray effects the baking time. And the tray I currently use is longer, wider, but more shallow and it takes about 20-25min to bake.
Once it is ready you can top it with the chocolate. It is also very easy to make and very tasty to eat. You will need:
- Hazelnut tahini
- Honey
- Cocoa powder
The proportion is 3:2 units tahini to honey aand for every 200g of that mixture you put 1 table spoon sieved cocoa powder. I mixed the hazelnut with just a bit of sunflower seed tahini just to try it out and it came out great. I prepared the chocolate over a water bath because I needed a more liquid texture - this way it spreads easier. But if you decide to kame the chocolate as a solo desert, you can skip the bath and mixthem cold - they still blend perfectly. Well there you have it, my favourite brownie gone healthy topped with homemade chocolate, surprisingly - also gone helathy :) I hope you try and enjoy it!
