Gluten-Free Chocolate Walnut Brownies
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons flax seeds, ground
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of rice milk (or other plant milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or other nut butter)
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1 1/4 cup self raising gluten free flour
- 1/2 cup walnuts (extra for garnishing)
Frosting
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (or 355 °F)
Mix the ground flax seeds and the water in a bowl and set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl (coconut sugar, cacao powder, self raising gluten free flour) and mix well.
Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl (flax egg, rice milk and peanut butter) until well combined.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix well. Add the walnuts and stir.
Pour the mixture into a baking pan with baking paper and bake for about 20 minutes. Let it cool down in the pan so it doesn't dry out.
Frosting
Combine all ingredients in the food processor.
Spread the frosting on top of brownie and decorate with crushed walnuts, coconut, petals or other toppings.
