Red Currant Brownies

A chewy, decadent, and luscious combined with fruity, seasonal red currants and chocolate drizzle. All made with pretty darn rad ingredients which makes them wholesome, gluten free, and vegan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g / 7 oz pitted dates
  • 2 tbsp nut or seed butter of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 30g / 1,1 oz cocoa powder
  • 20g / 0,7 oz oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • A hearty pinch of salt
  • Around 100g / 3,5 oz fresh red currants or other fruit of choice
  • Optional melted chocolate for decorating

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 150ºC / 300ºF and prepare a brownie pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper. My brownie pan was 15×15 cm / 6×6 inches.
  2. In a food processor, process the dates, nut butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add the rest of the brownie ingredients and process until combined. If too dry, add a splash of water.
  3. Transfer to the prepared pan and flatten out using a wet spatula or your hands. Top with the red currants and push them slightly into the batter.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until firm and chewy. Let cool, decorate with chocolate, cut up, and enjoy!
