Choc brownies (egg, dairy, and GF and with nutrient boost too)

I’ve been on the hunt for a brownie that ticks boxes for fussy eaters but also provides a bit of a nutrient boost and I’ve found it!!

This is a great recipe as it’s quick and simple to make and avoids many of the common allergens.

It is also a great way to boost nutrients and contains fruit.

Recipe

½ cup apple puree (I didn’t have any so just peeled and cooked down piece of apple until soft)
2/3 cup nut butter (I used peanut butter but substituted 1 hpd dessert spoon for tahini – great extra nutrients. Almond or sunflower butter or a mix of any of the 4 works)
1 hpd dessert sp of honey (or maple syrup – I also go very low sugar so add more to taste)
1 dessert sp coconut sugar (could add more or substitute for more honey/maple or use brown or white sugar)
1/3 cup cocoa
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda (oops, I forgot this, and it still worked 😉)
½ cup of choc chips (optional. I substituted for sultanas as didn’t have choc chips)

Put all in the blender except choc chips and whiz until mixed.
Place in a lined pan and bake at 180˚ for 25-ish mins
Can add frosting if you’d like
I made a ‘healthy frosting’ but it’s quite ‘appley’. If you have an apple eater it would be okay but is probably a stretch for those who don’t!

Frosting

½ cup applesauce (I used my cooked down apples but blended first)
¼ cup cocoa
1 hpd dessert sp of honey/maple syrup (more to taste)
¼ cup light tasting oil/butter
Whiz in the blender
I added 3 hpd tsps of ground linseeds to thicken (and left to sit for 10 mins while it worked its magic)
