Chocolate Chip Brownies and Fig Caramel

Ingredients

Brownies

• 20g chia seeds
• 100g water
• 250g flour (gluten free or regular)
• 10g baking soda
• 60g cacao powder
• 200g coconut sugar or regular brown sugar
• 100g almond milk
• 130g coconut oil, melted
• 50g maple syrup
• 50g dark chocolate chips
• Pinch of sea salt

Fig Caramel

• 200g dried figs
• 200g almond milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

Combine 20g chia seeds with 100g water and let this mixture soak for 15 minutes (while you prepare the rest of the ingredients). This will be your “chia egg”.

Combine flour, baking soda, sea salt and cocoa powder in a bowl.

Melt coconut oil and combine with sugar, almond milk and maple syrup.

Pour the coconut oil mixture in the flour along with the chia egg. Combine everything until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and fold them into the batter evenly.

Pour the brownie batter in a baking mold and bake 20 minutes for a fudgy texture and up to 25 minutes for a “cakey” texture.

For the fig caramel, mix dried figs and almond milk in a blender until smooth. Chill in the fridge until brownies are cooked.

Spread the fig caramel all over the brownies and enjoy!
