This is an intense chocolate treat where frozen raspberries that provide a refreshing twist on the usually heavy holiday fare.
They’re also fudgy, gooey and anything but cakey. Not you’re usual ‘dry-after-only-a-day’ brownies.
Frozen Raspberries
Frozen fruit is flash-frozen at its peak of ripeness, so all of the flavour is locked right in. This is a great way to get more of a refreshing flavour into your favourite treats during this indulgent time of year.
Preheat oven to 400 F (will be reduce to 350 once the brownies are baking)
In a large pot on medium heat, add raspberries and sugar.
Stir to combine and let cook for 5 minutes.
Stir and mash to break down any larger pieces of raspberry before bringing up to a bubble and letting cook for another 7 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and stir in coconut oil, vanilla, flax meal and water until well-combined. Let sit for around 5 minutes and allow it to thicken.
Stir in cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until well incorporated before folding in flour until just combined (this will prevent over mixing).
Fold in 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate (or dark chocolate chips).
Add brownie batter to greased and parchment lined 8x8-inch brownie pan (parchment is key as it makes removing these gooey beasts a lot easier).
Top batter with any extra pieces of chocolate before adding pan to centre of oven.
Reduce heat from 400 F to 350F and let bake for 20 minutes.
Remove and let cool.
*Note: I recommend letting these gooey brownies set up in the fridge if you want them to be a bit firmer.
