Healthy brownie: recipe without flour and without sugar

The brownie gets a version without wheat flour and without refined sugar, made with chocolate, oilseeds and natural sweetener. The dough is moist, has an intense flavor of cocoa and bakes in about 20 minutes, a quick solution for dessert or snack.

The recipe caters to those who seek to reduce the consumption of white flour and sugar, but does not give up a sweet with a creamy texture and striking flavor. The preparation is simple and can be done at home, with affordable ingredients.

Replacements that maintain texture

Almond flour replaces wheat flour and helps to form a dense mass with soft texture in the center. The natural sweetener provides the necessary sweetness without resorting to refined sugar. The combination works because eggs, fat and ground almonds support the structure during the oven.

The cocoa powder intensifies the aroma, but can leave the dough bitter when used in excess. The nuts create crisp contrast and the vanilla rounds the flavor. This combination preserves the identity of the chocolate candy cut into squares, even with changes in the traditional recipe.

Ingredients and preparation

Separate a small shape, about 20 centimeters, and line the bottom with paper-butter. The cocoa powder can enhance the taste of the chocolate, while the almond flour keeps the crumb moist. To prepare from 12 to 16 small squares, use:

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder without sugar; natural sweetener equivalent to 2 tablespoons of sugar; 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence.

Melt the chocolate with coconut oil in a water bath or microwave, using short intervals so as not to burn. Wait till you're shivering. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the natural sweetener, almond milk and vanilla until you get a uniform mixture.

Mix the dry ingredients and incorporate into the liquid mixture. Pour into the form and bring to the preheated oven. Remove when the edges are firm and the center still looks damp; wait to cool before cutting the squares.

Right spot and storage

The main care is to avoid excessive cooking time. The brownie continues to firm after it comes out of the oven. If the stick has some wet crumbs, the point is correct. A completely dry toothpick usually indicates that the crumb has passed the creamy stage.

Store the pieces in a closed container for up to three days in the refrigerator and heat for a few seconds before serving. Almond flour helps preserve moisture, while chocolate and nuts keep the striking flavor of this recipe without wheat flour and refined sugar.

Consumption in moderation

Although it is associated with a healthy diet, sweets should still be consumed in moderate portions. Chocolate, almonds, nuts and oil are caloric ingredients. The advantage lies in the composition and control of the ingredients, not in the idea that dessert can be consumed without limits.

In a healthy diet, serving size matters just as much as changing ingredients. Cut the brownie only after cold to get regular pieces. A small square can accompany unsweetened coffee, fresh fruit or natural yogurt, forming a snack with balanced flavors.
