Dark Chocolate Walnut Brownies

These gluten-free Cacao Magic Walnut Brownies are Philosophie favorite! They’re perfect for kids’ parties, potlucks, or if you want to win over your office with a guilt-free treat that tastes like heaven, you’ll definitely want to bookmark this recipe.

To make these brownies, take a traditional brownie recipe and swap out butter with coconut oil, refined white flour with almond flour, and refined sugar with maple syrup & Cacao Bee Honey. Coconut oil has natural saturated fats that increase the levels of good cholesterol and promote a healthy heart (you can also add it to smoothies). Almond flour is a great flour alternative since it’s gluten-free, low in carbs, and high in both protein and fiber. Plus, nixing refined sugars and going with Mother Nature’s sweeteners – especially when they’re supercharged with superfoods – is always a good call.

When you add in the eggs, brain-boosting walnuts, and Cacao Magic (which contains an assortment of potent superfoods like reishi and maca), you’ll bake up ultra energizing, nourishing brownies that are full of vitamins, minerals, and protein!

Gather This:

5 tbsp coconut oil, melted
½ cup Cacao Bee Honey
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup Cacao Magic Superfood Blend
3 large eggs
1 ½ cup almond flour
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ tsp baking soda

Do This:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8" square pan or 9" round pan (either should be at least 2" deep). In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, salt, honey, maple syrup, chocolate chips, vanilla, Cacao Magic, walnuts, and eggs. Stir in the almond flour and baking soda. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it to the edges.

Bake the brownies for 30 minutes until the top is set and a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or nearly so, with perhaps a few wet crumbs or a tiny touch of chocolate at the tip of the tester). Remove the brownies from the oven and cool them for about 15 minutes before cutting. Once the brownies are cool, cover them tightly with plastic. Store at room temperature for several days or freeze for longer storage.
