Ingredients
Brownies
1/2 cup PlantFusion Chocolate Protein Powder
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup organic sugar
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup cacao nibs, optional
1/2 Tbsp. chia seeds, ground
1/2 tsp. pink salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 banana
1/2 cup coconut oil
5 Tbsp. non-dairy milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Coconut Cream
2-3 Tbsp. organic powdered sugar
1 can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
1 tsp. vanilla bean powder
Directions
- Prepare coconut cream first. In the freezer, chill mixing bowl and beaters for 5 minutes.
- Remove coconut milk from fridge and flip upside down. In a separate, small bowl, pour coconut milk and scoop hardened chunks into chilled mixing bowl. With chilled beaters, whip until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla bean and continue to whip until combined. Store in fridge until ready to use.
- Prepare brownies. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin tray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients. Slowly add wet ingredients into dry to combine. The batter should be thick, but more non-dairy milk can be added as needed.
- Transfer brownie mixture to muffin tray, filling up each tin almost to the top. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before topping with coconut cream. Garnish with additional cacao nibs.
