Raspberry Chocolate Brownie

October 14, 2018 by NicolaLeave a Comment

Chocolate Cashew Brownie

Raspberry chocolate brownie combines tart raspberries and chunks of dark chocolate to create a delicious slice.

I actually created these brownies by accident. My idea was to create a cashew cookie recipe but when that didn’t go to plan I decided to turn it into something else.   And that turned out to be yummy  raspberry chocolate brownies!

I’ve always loved to bake and experimenting in the kitchen is something I find quite relaxing.  I had a big bag of cashews that I had forgotten about and needed to use, so I decided to get creative. Usually when things don’t go to plan it’s a waste of ingredients, but luckily this time it could be repurposed!

Using ground cashews create a delicious, nourishing base while coconut flour helps keep the brownie moist.  Cashews are a source of magnesium, potassium, iron and other vitamins and minerals.  If you don’t have cashews, feel free to swap them for ground almonds.   This can also be gluten free by switching the wholemeal flour for gluten free flour and making sure the rest of the brand ingredients are gluten free.

The brownie keeps quite well in the fridge and makes a yummy addition to the lunch box when you’re feeling like something sweet.  Keeping some in the freezer is also handy.  Just keep in an air tight container.
