Chou chou brownies- A must try!!!

Just got back from the races, munched on one of these- they taste soooo much nicer once cool!!! Do give these a go!
They are very light and fudgy, if you prefer a richer one try these aubergine ones http://healthyalamauricienne.blogspot.com/2013/06/chocoholic-delights.html or if you want a more cakey one try these sweet potato ones http://healthyalamauricienne.blogspot.com/2013/06/sweet-potato-brownies-nom-nom-nom.html, but these Chou chou brownies are by far my favourite!! There is some dark chocolate in this recipe (which does contain sugar) but the ratio of  about 1:7 of chocolate to chou-chou makes for a very healthy yet indulgent dessert!!

CHOU CHOU BROWNIES
Makes about 16 brownies
  • 1 large chou-chou ( I used an 800 g chouchou, would probably use slightly less next time 600-700 g)
  • 65 g Peanut butter (try get the sugar and salt free type)
  • 50 g honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 40 g cocoa
  • 25 g almond meal
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  1. Peel, chop and cook (either microwave or boil) your chou-chou until soft and puree until smooth.
  2. Break up your dark chocolate and melt with 1 tbsp coconut oil, either in your microwave or on a double boiler stirring constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  3. Beat together your peanut butter, eggs, vanilla and honey until smooth and creamy, fold in your chocolate mixture and pureed chou-chou. Slowly sift in your dry ingredients and stir until you obtain a smooth consistent batter ( it will be quite runny!)
  4. Pour your batter into a well greased glass dish and bake for 25-30 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius.

My brownies were for some guests so I drizzled on some melted dark chocolate and crushed walnuts. I also made some sugar free gluten free thumbprint cookies that I'll post on in abit:)!
