About This Recipe
So many people these days suffer from allergies and intolerances that prevent them from enjoying a little treat every so often – this fabulous brownie created by Jason stops all that. While it’s true it does contain nuts, it’s free from both gluten and dairy produce, two other key allergens.
Gram flour from chick peas replaces the wheat flour that binds things together (adding more protein to the brownie too) and we’ve used maple syrup as a natural sweetener rather than refined sugar.
Coconut oil allows for ‘good’ non-animal saturated fats, while dark chocolate is high in antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavanols – shown to reduce high blood pressure and possibly combat heart disease.

Take off the heat and add a pinch of sea salt crystals
Add all the dry ingredients, except the nuts, to a bowl and mix thoroughly
