Low Carb Brownies
Who doesn't love brownies? I really start to question a person that doesn't like chocolate. What happened, that you want to miss out on something so magical?! All jokes aside, this brownie recipe has all the goods and left out the nasties. No high highs and low lows due to the lower carb and sugar content. I used ripe bananas instead of other refined sugar which makes this brownie contain only 200 calories per serving!

The every day Brownie
Why sprouted flour? Sprouted flour is made from wheat grains that have been allowed to germinate before being ground into flour. This process not only makes the flour easier to digest, but also lowers its calorie and carbohydrate content a bit. This flour is lower in gluten, which makes it easier to digest. (Won't do well for bread or other high glutenous recipes) Sprouted flour is great to replace regular flour. This brownie recipe doesn't contain unrefined sugars, but has enough sweetness from the super ripe bananas. Enjoy this brownie with some (n)ice cream or a dollop of vanilla yogurt.
Ingredients
3/4 cup sprouted whole wheat flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 espresso (or 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee)
1/4 cup coconut sugar
2 eggs+ 1 egg white
4 ripe bananas (or 1 cup of unsweetened apple sauce)
100g 70% dark chocolate
100g dark chocolate chips
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of mixed raw nuts (optional for topping)
2 tbsp shredded coconut (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and a little bit of oil or butter for easy removal.
Start by browning the butter in a sauce pan over medium to low heat, make stir every minute until the butter turns golden brown. Take the pan off the heat and immediately add chopped chocolate (leave out the chocolate chips), 1 shot of espresso and vanilla essence, stir until smooth. Let it rest and cool.
In a mixing bowl, sift the sprouted whole wheat flour and cocoa powder (sifting is super important since it prevents from lumping your batter). Then add the salt and baking power, mixing well until fully combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, mash the bananas and whisk the 2 eggs and egg white, slowly whisk in the chocolate mixture. Then fold in your dry ingredients, lastly fold in the remaining chocolate chips.
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center, check if the toothpick comes out clean (or if you're like me, take it out a couple min before the actual time for a more gooey texture).
Let them cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Top your brownies with optional nuts, freeze dried fruit, shredded coconut, or eat as as! I topped mine with some nuts and coconut. (Macros do not contain optional add ons) Eet smakelijk!
