Ingredients
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/2 - 1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp golden flax meal
1 Tbsp organic gelatin
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup Lakanto (of your preferred sweetener to taste)
1 tsp vanilla powder or 2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cultured bananas
1/2 cup strong black coffee
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
Espresso Frosting
I used this Coconut & Vanilla Frosting recipe but used 1.5 cups of black coffee + 1-1.5 cups of water (instead of 4 cups of water) to get that delicious espresso taste - this needs to set overnight.
Alternatively, you can serve it with my Chocolate Yogo recipe from my eBook Just Desserts or a generous scoop of my Chocolate Bulletproof Ice Cream recipe instead, you can even add in a shot of espresso when you’re making it if you want to achieve that coffee taste.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a bread loaf tin with baking paper.
Add all of the dry ingredients to your food processor or thermomix and blitz on high until it resembles a flour.
Now add all the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and lump free.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if desired. Re-blend.
Pour the mixture into the pre-lined tin and place in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes.
Remove from the oven, it may still seem a little soft in the middle but once you place it in the fridge it firms up and becomes nice and fudgey.
When the brownie is set, spread the Coconut & Vanilla (Espresso) Frosting on top or alternatively with my Chocolate Yogo recipe from my eBook Just Desserts or serve with a generous scoop of my Chocolate Bulletproof Ice Cream.
