These delicious brownies can be made with or without the lavender. Lavender is an acquired taste and does not appeal to everyone.
Ingredients: Instructions:
1 cup of chocolate chips - Melt chocolate chips & coconut oil in
1/2 cup coconut oil OR butter (less crumbly w/butter) bowl over a pot of boiling water. Mix.
3 eggs - Mix eggs, sugar, vanilla in a bowl
1/3 cup of sugar - Mix almond flour, lavender, baking
2 tsp vanilla extract soda, cacao powd. in separate bowl.
1/2 tsp baking soda - Let chocolate chip/coconut mix cool
3 tsp cacao powder - Add cooled mix to eggs, mix well.
1/2 tsp salt - Add to almond flour mix. Mix well.
1/2 tsp dried lavender - Pour into greased 8x8 pan
1 cup almond flour - Bake at 350 for approx 30 minutes.
Note: using coconut oil instead of butter makes the brownies a bit crumbly, but it is a nice option for those who cannot use dairy. With the amount of salt used, you will taste the salt - use less if that is not desired. I used a mix of sweetened and unsweetened chocolate chips because I don’t like things to be very sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, either use more sugar or all sweetened chocolate chips.
