For the blueberry brownies
- 2 cups of almond butter
- 1 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cups organic blueberries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Coconut oil spray
For the very berry sauce
- 2 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup purified water
- 1 tbsp triple sec + 1 tbsp purified water (if you don’t want to use liquor, replace with 2 tbsp of fresh orange juice & omit the water)
Instructions
- Make the brownies: preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a 9×13″ baking dish with coconut oil and set aside. Add almond butter, mashed banana, eggs, honey and vanilla extract to a standing mixer’s bowl, and mix in medium speed for ~2 minutes. Add in baking soda, salt and cacao powder, fold in with a spatula first, and then mix in standing mixer until incorporated. Fold in blueberries and chocolate chips. Transfer batter to the greased baking pan, and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check on the brownies at min 40, if they pass the toothpick test, remove from the oven, let cool and chill overnight.
- Prepare the very berry sauce: add berries, water and honey to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce temperature and let simmer for ~5 minutes, stirring often. Pour mixture through a strainer into a bowl; use a spatula to press on the berries to get as much of the sauce through. Whisk in triple sec and purified water. Set aside and let cool.
- Top brownies with sauce, sprinkle slivered almonds, slice and serve.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour to the berry mixture (warning: gets a bit grainy, not as smooth).
