INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup Avocado Oil
  • 1 1/4 cups Unsweetened Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon Fine Grain Sea Salt
  • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon Coconut Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • I tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Butternut Squash Pretzel Twists
  • Flaky Sea Salt, to top

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a 9” x 9” pan with parchment paper, so some hangs off the ends as a handle to lift the finished brownies with.
  2. In a microwave or double boiler, melt the avocado oil and chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool while you make the rest of the batter.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of coconut sugar.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Pour in the avocado oil and chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Gently lay down a single layer of Butternut Squash Pretzel Twists, then add a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt. 
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in pan before removing, cutting into squares, and serving.
