Four-Bite Brownies

Looking for a rich, fudgy brownie that’s both delicious and packed with nutrients? These brownies (which were named by my husband) are made with wholesome ingredients that nourish your body while satisfying your chocolate cravings. Almond flour provides healthy fats and a dose of vitamin E, while oat flour adds fibre to support digestion. Instead of refined sugar, these brownies are naturally sweetened with dates and maple syrup, offering a boost of antioxidants and minerals. Silken tofu gives them a protein boost and a smooth, creamy texture—without any dairy, eggs or oil. Plus, cacao is rich in magnesium and flavonoids, making these little treats as energizing as they are indulgent. Enjoy them as a satisfying dessert!

Notes

Feel free to mix up the nuts and chocolate chips—pecans would work great! You can also use all chocolate chips or all nuts. Goji berries would add an interesting twist.
Experiment with different flours! I tested this with sorghum flour, which also worked well.
