GLUTEN FREE SWEET AND SALTY BROWNIES

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 cups Fair Trade semisweet chocolate chips
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 large cage-free organic eggs
1 cup Wholesome Organic Coconut Sugar
6 tbsp unsweetened Fair Trade cocoa powder
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp kosher or fine sea salt
1 tbsp instant espresso powder
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups salted, dry roasted peanuts, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Line a 9×12 baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 3

Put the chocolate chips and butter in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly combine.

Step 4

Add the eggs, organic coconut palm sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, espresso powder and vanilla and blitz until combined (batter is supposed to be lumpy).

Step 5

Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top and gently press into the batter.

Step 7

Bake for 20 minutes or until the batter is set and it feels slightly firm to the touch. The outer edges will be a little drier than the inside.

Cut into squares.
