Yup, you read right… superfood brownies made with cacao! 😀 And even better, they are dairy free, refined sugar free and gluten free – YAY! 😀

These brownies are so good, they are perfect to have in the house for when the sweet cravings hit. The chocolate topping works perfectly when cooled and gives them a fudge-y caramel-y taste and texture… yum! 😀

Ingredients

Brownie Mix

• 3/4 cup – melted coconut oil
• 3/4 cup cacao powder
• 6 tbsp. honey
• 6 tbsp. sugar free caramel syrup
• 1.5 tbsp. coconut sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup coconut flour

Chocolate Icing

• 8 tbsp. melted coconut oil
• 3 tbsp. honey
• 3 tbsp. sugar free caramel syrup
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 5 tbsp. cacao powder

Directions

Brownie mix

1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5 / 190 degrees
2. Pop all the ingredients into a bowl in the order shown above mixing really well each time you add something
3. Spoon the mixture into cupcake cases and pop in the oven for 25-30 mins or until firm to the touch (keep checking they aren’t burning)
4. Take out of the oven and let cool before icing

Chocolate Icing 

1. Pop all the ingredients in a bowl in the order shown above and mix well each time you add something
2. Let the mixture thicken slightly by leaving it to stand for 10 mins or so
3. Once the brownies have cooled, spoon the icing on top and decorate with whatever you like or just leave them plain. I used wafer daisies 🙂
4. If the icing starts to melt a little, (they shouldn’t as the brownies should be cool enough) just pop them in the fridge

Prep time – 15 min | Baking time – 30 mins | Total = 45 mins

Enjoy lovelies 😀
