Ingredients:
Brownie Mixture:
I got this recipe from Paleo Mama and from my fellow Hoosier CrossFit friends!
Ingredients:
- 16 oz of walnuts
- 1 egg (free range)
- 1 cup honey (I only used 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup baking cocoa
- 1 tbs pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 oz unsweetened dark chocolate chopped (I used Enjoy Life chocolate chips)
- 2 T olive oil
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
- combine walnuts in a food processor (I added a tad of olive oil) and blend until it has the texture of almond butter
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients (minus the chocolate chips) and mix until smooth
- then stir in the chocolate chips
- set aside
Ingredients:
- 1 can of pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 T cinnamon
- 1 t baking soda
- 1 free range egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- In a separate bowl from the brownie mixture combine all ingredients
- mix until smooth
- lightly grease a 9x13 cake pan
- pour in the 3/4 of the brownie mixture into the pan and spread evenly
- set aside the other 1/4
- take heaping spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture and place on top of the brownie mixture in the pan until all pumpkin mix is used
- then add the rest of the brownie mix on top of the pumpkin (I put spoonfuls in the center of the pumpkin globs)
- take a knife and run it side to side (length wise) through the mixture making the chocolate and the pumpkin swirl
- bake for 30-45 minutes (I was a little iffy on the time because I was not sure how long it would take to cook all the way through- but I have a friend who tells me it's done when you can smell it- so follow your nose!)
- let cool and enjoy!
Just made this!! Fantastic!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I can just use my jar of almond butter instead of making walnut butter...?
ReplyDeleteDid you try this?! I was thinking the same thing... I don't have a food processor and that would be so much quicker!
DeleteYes that works too!
DeleteI don't see why you couldn't!
ReplyDeleteYum , I can't wait to try these
ReplyDeleteHi - a reader from Norway here... I wonder - how much is "1 can of pumpkin puree" in cups? And T = tablesspoon/t= teaspoon? (Got a lot of pumpkin, but don't have a lot of exciting recipies.;) )
ReplyDeleteWow!! Haven't tried this yet, but what you mention near the top of the page:
ReplyDeleteWarning: do not eat a whole batch of anything by yourself - you must use moderation :)
already looks like a sound suggestion!! :-)
Even at the cost of repeating what Mama Bird said above, I have to say: Can't wait to try!
Thanks for sharing.
Could I use coconut flour in lieu of almond flour?
ReplyDeleteI am making this for the third time. I make it without the pumpkin now, just brownies - my family loves them. The second time I made the recipe (the first time without the pumpkin) I didn't have any walnuts so I substituted some sour cream and organic applesauce ... it worked! My son-in-law will hardly let anyone else have a piece, I cannot believe how delicious the brownies are.
