Instructions
- The first thing you need to do is pre-heat your oven to 350F.
- Start by adding a 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp baking powder to a mixing bowl.
- Beat and mix all the dry ingredients together with a whisk or a hand mixer.
- Next, add the following wet ingredients to the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients, 1 mashed banana, 1/4 cup of preferably raw honey, 1/4 cup cashew butter, and lastly 2 whole eggs that have already been beaten up.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat all the ingredients together.
- Once the mixture has reach a consistency where the clumps have been removed, it's ready to add 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract to the mixing bowl. Mix. Vanilla makes everything taste better.
- Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray so the chocolate brownies don't stick. I like to use coconut oil or coconut oil spray for the baking dish, but Jen is allergic to coconuts.
- With a spatula, add the chocolate brownie batter to the 8 x 8 baking dish, then spread the 2-4 tbsp of cashew butter on top as the frosting.
- Once the cashew butter is spread on top, bake it in the oven at 350F for 20-25 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, take the brownies out of the oven and poke them with a knife to see if they are cooked throughly inside. If not, add them back to the oven for up to 5 more minutes.
- It's now time for the taste test. Cut the brownies into 9 equally sized squares, add them to a plate, and take a bite.
