Chocolate walnut brownies

[rydra_wong]

These are the best iteration yet of a flourless brownie recipe that I've been perfecting for a while.

Ingredients:

2 large eggs
120g butter
1 cup unsweetened cocoa/cacao powder
1 and 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or regular brown sugar)
1/3 tsp sea salt, crushed
50g walnuts, finely chopped
40-50g 100% cocoa chocolate, finely chopped

Melt the butter in a bain marie. While that's going on, mix the sugar, salt, eggs and walnuts.

Once the butter's melted, remove from the heat, stir in the cocoa powder, then add to the rest. Add the chocolate last of all.

Bake at 200 degrees C for 30 minutes. They get even better after they've been in the fridge for a while.

ETA note: if you'd like to make them dairy-free as well, you can replace the melted butter with 120g almond butter plus several tsbp of water, just enough to make the mixture stir-able. I left the walnuts out of this version for fear of nut overload, but YMMV.

black bean brownies

They're basically this recipefrom Live Eat Learn Blog or the exact same recipe with less bloggy commentary at Allrecipes.com but leave out the optional espresso powder/instant coffee. They still taste coffee-ish without it. If I recall correctly, I've also left out most of the oil, or added an extra egg, or drained the beans but not rinsed them, and it didn't make much difference. Next to try: adding some hazelnut meal or chopped walnuts.
