Who doesn't like warm chocolate gooey brownies with some good old vanilla ice cream! I have experimented with many recipes/ingredients with varying degrees of deliciousness and nutrition value! I just tend to be slightly picky about what goes into the food that goes into my kids' growing bodies and brains. The more nutrition I can squeeze in while still keeping the taste, the better I feel about that dish! And this applies to desserts as well.
Kahan, my 7 year old is a foodie and takes on his mom. He is very curious on what's cooking in mumma's kitchen and if the aromas arouse his interest, he will want to pitch in some help climbing on the little step stool. And so here we were, the mommy-son duo whipping up some choco-orange goodness right before homework time! The results were mouth watering (plural because it's hard to stop at one!) minus the refined flour, sugar, oil, butter and eggless in case we want to recreate this for Nani (my mom) some day!
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
2/3rd cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4th cup Stevia-sugar baking blend
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup roasted chopped walnuts
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut
Zest of 1 orange
1/4th cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pinch of salt (to round out all the flavors)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3rd cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/3rd cup coconut oil
3/4th-1 cup water (Almond milk or milk can be used as well) to bring it all together to a batter
Mix all the ingredients except water really well. Add water (or almond milk) slowly as needed to get the thick brownie consistency. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour the batter in a greased baking pan. Bake for 25-29 minutes depending on your pan and oven; checking in between. Let it cool before slicing. Enjoy with a dollop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
