Description

Rich, fudgy collagen brownies made with almond flour and collagen peptides.


Ingredients

Scale
  • dark chocolate chips (I used 85% dark)
  • 1 cup almond flour (90g)
  • 1/2 cup collagen peptides (40g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate. To do this, place your dark chocolate in a small, microwaveable bowl.  Place it in the microwave and melt on high at 20-30 second intervals, stirring between.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, collagen peptides and salt.
  4. In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut sugar, coconut oil and vanilla.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix with a spatula until well combined.  Then fold in the melted chocolate.  Do not overmix - mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into your lined baking dish (it is thick) and spread it out evenly to the sides.
  7. Place the brownies in your oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
  8. After baking, let the brownies cool to room temperature in the baking dish, as they will continue to set.  I actually prefer storing them in the fridge overnight (or for a few hours) before cutting them.  They get extra fudgy in the fridge and are easier to cut.
  9. After cutting the brownies, enjoy as is or decorate them to your liking.  I drizzled dark chocolate over my brownies and then added a pinch of dried edible flowers.
