It’s fair to say I’m in LOVE with these festive inspired brownies! Full of flavour and packed with dried cranberries and chestnuts, these double chocolate treats are sure to go down a storm this Christmas time for all the family.
Ingredients:
- 150g gluten-free flour
- 100g Natvia natural sweetener
- 40g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 200ml oat milk
- 100g apple puree
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 40g dried cranberries
- 50g cooked chestnut pieces
For the topping –
- 150g soft cheese or Quark
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Natvia natural sweetener
- Dried cranberries
- Chestnut pieces
- Edible sprinkle decorations
Make them!
- Blend the flour, Natvia, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, milk, apple puree, milk and flaxseed or simple mix together in a bowl to form a batter. Mix in the chestnuts and cranberries.
- Spoon into a 9x9in greased and lined baking tin and smooth out evenly. Bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes until risen and firm to the touch. Leave to cool.
- Meanwhile, beat together the soft cheese or Quark with cocoa powder and sweetener and chill in the fridge until needed.
- Once the brownies have cooled, spread over the chocolate frosting to cover. Sprinkle over the decorations – then cut into 9 bars and remove from the tin. Enjoy!
