A powerful, nutrient-dense recipe you can easily make and snack on throughout the week, designed to help you be in a caloric surplus.
Ingredients:
- 200 g ground almonds
- 40 g cocoa powder (unsweetened, organic)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 tsp chia seeds (approx. 15 g, soaked in water)
- 3 eggs
- 80 g honey
- 70 g coconut oil, melted
- 50 g butter, melted (preferably grass-fed, organic)
- 50 g 90% dark chocolate, chopped
- 50 g nuts of your choice (e.g., Brazil nuts, almonds, pecans), chopped
- 30 g collagen peptides
- Cashew butter as a topping
Instructions:
1. Prepare the oven:
Preheat to 175°C (350°F) for top/bottom heat or 160°C (320°F) for convection. Line a baking dish (20 x 20 cm or similar) with parchment paper.
2. Soak chia seeds:
Mix chia seeds with 3-4 tbsp water and let them sit for 5 minutes until gel-like.
3. Mix dry ingredients:
Combine ground almonds, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and collagen peptides in a large bowl.
4. Blend wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, coconut oil, butter, and the chia seed gel.
5. Combine everything:
Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until smooth. Fold in the chopped chocolate and nuts of your choice.
6. Bake:
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center remains slightly moist.
7. Cool and serve:
Let the brownie cool completely in the dish before cutting into squares. You can put Cashewbutter for more calories on top of it if you want to!
