Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 30 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 g Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 10 g Baking powder
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 50 g Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 50 g Coconut oil
- 2 ml Almond extract
- 50 g Chopped almonds
- 70 g Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and the stevia or erythritol sweetener.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and the cooled coconut oil, and whisk until well combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not over mix.
Fold in the chopped almonds and dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly to form a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the pastry to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, slice the pastry into small squares or rectangles. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
