Healthy Salted Caramel Brownies
If you want healthy and yum, these are for you!
Ingredients
Salted Caramel
1 & 1/2 cups roasted cashew nuts
2 large medjool dates, pitted
60ml Canned coconut milk
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Brownies
130g Oat flour
25g cacao powder
60g honey
60ml coconut oil
60ml almond milk
2 eggs
20g dark chocolate
.
Method:
- Blend cashews in a food processor until they turn into cashew butter (approx 10 mins)
- Add dates and blend again until there are no lumps
- Add remaining ingredients for the salted caramel - if you want it a bit runnier you can add 1-2 tsp water
- Leave to the side to use later
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a brownie tin with baking paper
- Add dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir to combine
- In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients
- Melt the dark chocolate (I just use a microwave) and add to the mixture
- Evenly spread half the brownie mix into the prepared tin
- Drizzle the salted caramel on top of the brownie mix (you can use a knife or spatula to spread it a bit but be gentle so it doesn't absorb into the brownie too much)
- Pour the remaining brownie mix on top of the salted caramel layer
- Finish with another drizzle of salted caramel on top and some chunks of Lindt Dark Salted Caramel (optional)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes - the skewer won't come out clean in the middle but it needs to be cooked enough to be able to cut into pieces
- Leave to cool and cut into 12-15 pieces (depends how generous you're feeling)
