In anticipation of Foodie Friday tomorrow, here is a delicious substitute for a weekend chocolate treat. I don't remember where I got the recipe from, but this is not one of my creations :-)...however, it tastes delicious and is rich enough that you can stay within your macros and not overeat. Enjoy!
Cookie Dough Brownies
Brownie:
1/3 cup pecans (optional- I did not use)
1/2 cup almond flour
4tbs. Cacao
5 pitted dates
1.2tsp vanilla extract(weird measurement but eye it out)
1/2 tbs coconut oil
Cookie Dough:
6 tbs melted coconut oil
3 tbs coconut milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs + 1 tsp raw honey
1 1/2 cups almond flour
3 pz dark chocolate chips
Grind the pecans and place in a bowl. Process the dates into a paste. Mix pecan meal with almond flour, cacao powder,, date paste, vanilla extract and coconut oil.
Spread mixture evenly into pan. Whisk coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Add almond flour and mix until combined. Do not over mix! Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Spread cookie dough mixture on top of brownie and smooth on top.
*you could probably add in more protein powder to up the protein content. (I added 1 scoop of chocolate protein)
