Our good friend, super mama and creator of all things delicious, Magdalena Roze, shared her super tasty and nourishing breastfeeding brownie recipe with us.
These gluten, refined sugar and dairy free chocolate brownies are a super easy one bowl wonder, choc-full of good fats & protein, and so delicious! The hero ingredient is black sesame (seeds & tahini) which is especially good for new mums (milk supply and depletion) and anti-ageing (everyone!). It’s revered for its age defying effects.
INGREDIENTS:
40g cacao powder
60g almond meal or gluten free flour
1 tsp baking powder
80ml honey or maple syrup
60g nut butter
60g black tahini
1 egg (or if vegan, 1Tbs chia seeds soaked in 3Tbs water for 15min)
vanilla extract
90ml any milk
Pinch of sea salt
2 Tbs black sesame seeds
1-2 Tbs hemp seeds
100g good quality dark choc chips or chopped dark chocolate
For the drizzle:
2 heaped Tbs black tahini
1 Tbs maple syrup or to taste (optional)
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 180 deg & line a rectangular loaf tin with baking paper.
Pop all the ingredients into a bowl & mix until smooth & well combined. Taste the batter, it’s yummy.
Spoon the batter into your prepared tin and smooth it out at the top.
Bake for 25 min. Remove from oven & allow to cool in tin before slicing.
To make it look & taste even better, mix a little extra black tahini & maple, & drizzle over the top!
To make them more fudgey you can stir some melted dark chocolate through the batter too.
