Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp flax seed meal
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 2 ripe bananas (roughly ¾ cup mashed)
  • ⅓ cup (90g) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (96g) almond flour
  • ⅓ cup (36g) dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ⅔ cup (85g) roughly chopped, dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8" baking dish with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk together flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 min. to thicken.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth. Whisk in flax egg, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla. Fold in almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda, and salt until smooth. Fold in dark chocolate.

  4. Pour batter into baking dish and smooth over with a spatula to evenly distribute. Sprinkle over additional chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 min. or until toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs (it may be a bit wet, due to the chocolate chunks).

  5. Important! Let cool for 10 min. before slicing. It may seem a bit underdone, but that's what makes it ultra gooey and fudgy.
