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.

Those sound simple and delicious. Since you add the chocolate last, does melt in the hot butter mixture at all, or are you left with little chunks of chocolate in your finished brownies?

these sound amazing! i might have to try them. i have a recipe for flourless chocolate brownies, but it uses bananas as a substitute - it's great, but you can *really* tell there's banana in it and i don't always want the banana experience when i want brownies... anyway! thanks for sharing! i'll be saving this one.

How sweet are these? Is it a total sugar bomb, or more like fudge, or more like regular brownies?
