Seriously simple, this nourishing Nut Butter Brownie is so delicious and as easy as can be to make. 

Ingredients

  • 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.

Instructions

  • 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.

Store

  • In an airtight container for 2 days or freeze for up to a month.

Notes

Double-choc

Add 30g of raw cacao or Dutch process cocoa to the batter.

Dairy-free

Choose a dairy-free chocolate. 

Sesame-free

Replace the tahini with nut butter.

Fructose friendly

Choose rice malt syrup as your sweetener. 

Peanut butter

I think the other nut butters listed produce the best texture.
