Seriously simple, this nourishing Nut Butter Brownie is so delicious and as easy as can be to make.
- 260 g nut butter (1 cup) eg; almond, cashew, ABC, hazelnut (not peanut)
- 1 tbsp hulled tahini
- 1 egg/s
- 85 g rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup (¼ cup)
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Pinch sea salt
- 50 g dark chocolate -buttons (or chopped up squares, I've used Green and Blacks dark chocolate chopped up). For dairy-free use a dairy-free chocolate or cacao nibs.
Pre-heat oven to 180°C/ 350°F (fan forced). Line a large loaf tin (I used 24 x 13cm) with baking paper.
Add all the ingredients except the chocolate into a food processor and blend until combined. If using a Thermomix, blend 10 seconds, speed 5.
If your nut butter is soft enough, you can also mix this by hand with a bit of muscle.
I recommend tasting the batter to check it will be sweet enough for your tribe. You can add more if you think you need to, or add more chocolate chunks.
Fold in the chocolate. If using a Thermomix reverse, 5 seconds, speed 4.
Press into the base of the tin and bake for 15-17 minutes until they have risen and are golden brown on top.
Allow to cool a little and slice into 8-10 squares.
