Raw brownies

21st August 2018 by bos.kitchen Leave a Comment

raw brownie with protein powder

This post is sponsored by WelleCo, all opinions are my own. 

Brownies are one of those desserts that never get old, right? I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a brownie I didn’t enjoy. They’re usually very rich and sugary and for that reason I usually bake them every once in a while, for special occasions. Not so with this raw brownie! Gluten, refined sugar and dairy free and nutritious enough to have any time. No baking involved, just a blender, small pan and about 10 minutes to prepare! …

No bake nut brownie

4th July 2017 by bos.kitchen Leave a Comment

no bake nut brownies with chocolate ganache

I promised to publish this recipe a couple of weeks ago and it’s finally here! Rich, indulgent, no bake brownie that’s refined sugar free, gluten free and vegan of course.

If you’ve never tried raw brownies before, bookmark this recipe now! I promise you’ll love them – any dessert that’s loaded with chocolate and doesn’t require baking is always a winner for me.

I’m a huge brownie lover but I’m always on the hunt for a healthy version. This one is made with cacao rather than cocao, which is unrefined and therefore more nutritionally dense. I’ve also added chia seeds and maca powder to the brownie base, for an extra helping of protein, b vitamins and omegas.  The base is fudgey but with enough bite to hold together and the chocolate ganache is smooth, creamy and sweet, so rich and delicious that just a little slice will suffice.

Feel free to play around with the recipe, you could try different nuts or seeds, personally I love using hazelnuts because they taste so magical with chocolate. I’ve made the base with almonds and walnuts and both came out delicious.  I’ve had fun testing out these brownies, they never seem to last very long which is a good sign!

Many thanks to two of my faves, Minimalist Baker and The Bojon Gourmet who have both inspired me with their incredible raw brownie recipes to try out whilst creating these! This recipe is heavily adapted from their recipes so I must say thank you!

I’m thrilled to be featured in the first edition of In The Moment magazine, out in the UK this month! Lots of my recipes are in there, along with an in depth interview with me about how I got into veganism, blogging and cooking. For more information check out their website here (these brownies are featured there too).

If you do try these out, please let me know – I’d love to hear what you think of them! You can also subscribe to my mailing list (just look on the right of this page) and you’ll get my recipes emailed directly to you before anybody else.

Sending you copious amounts of chocolate ganache,

Bo

Author: Bo's Kitchen
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
  • 1.25 cup hazelnuts
  • ¼ cup almonds or walnuts
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maca powder
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
Instructions
  1. Start by making the brownie base. Preheat the oven to 180•c . Add the hazelnuts to a baking tray and cook for about 10 minutes, until golden. Allow to cool then rub off as much of the skin as you can with a clean tea towel. Set about 2 tbsp aside for the ganache. Place remaining hazelnuts in a food processor and process until they are a fine, sandy texture. Now add in almonds, cacao powder, chia seeds, maca powder and salt and pulse until the mixture comes together. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. Add pitted dates and vanilla to the blender and pulse until it forms a paste. Add back in the brownie mix and pulse again until a rough dough is formed - it should stick together when you press it together, if not, add a tbsp of water at a time.
  3. Put mixture into a lined loaf pan, pressing down firmly to flatten out and pop in the fridge to set.
  4. Make the ganache topping by melting coconut oil gently over a small pan of water. Take off the heat and add in coconut milk, maple syrup and cacao powder. Whisk until totally smooth and leave to cool for at least 15 minutes. Pour over the brownie base and sprinkle with hazelnuts, cacao nibs and sea salt. Chill until firm, cut into slices and enjoy! Keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm a vegan recipe developer from the UK with a passion for healthy, delicious food. Read More…

Creamy vanilla cheesecakes with cranberry compote❣️ such a deliciously creamy and tangy combo and perfect for your festive table🎄If you don’t have a mini cheesecake tin you can also make this into one big cheesecake instead 😋 The filling is oh so creamy, you’d never guess it was dairy free! 

As a little gift 🎁 before the end of the year I’d love to offer two people the chance to WIN a copy of my cookbook and some dairy free goodies - just tag a friend below and I’ll pick the winners on Friday!😌🌟

Vanilla cheesecakes with cranberry compote (makes 9)

250g ginger nut biscuits
100g dairy free butter
300g cashews, soaked overnight
340g dairy free cream cheese
80g icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract 
200g coconut cream
2-4 tbsp coconut milk 

200g fresh cranberries
5 tbsp water
5 tbsp caster sugar 

Prepare the base by processing ginger biscuits and butter together to a fine crumb. Press into a mini cheesecake tin and set aside in the fridge to chill. 

Add soaked cashews to a food processor and blend on high for 10 minutes until smooth and silky. Add in dairy free cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla, coconut milk and cream and process until fully incorporated. Pour cheesecake filling on top of the bases and set aside to chill overnight in the fridge. 

To make the compote, add cranberries, water and sugar to a small pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes until jammy. Spoon compote on top of the cheesecakes and enjoy!
