Chocolate brownies are the ultimate comfort food and who doesn’t need comfort food in their life? If you’d like to make some brownies but are concerned about the fat content/healthiness of them, then this recipe is perfect. It is a hybrid version of regular brownies that also provide you with one of your five a day!!
Time:  25-30 minutes to cook (depending on oven)
You will need:
  • Oil to grease baking dish + grease proof paper to line baking tin
  • 400 grams of butternut squash, peeled and chopped into 2cm dice
  • 100 grams of Green and Blacks dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa content), roughly chopped
  • 4 medium free range/organic eggs
  • 200 grams golden caster sugar or coconut sugar to be healthier
  • 100 grams green and black cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour or Linwoods ground seeds mix
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

  3. Bake peeled and chopped butternut squash in oven for 15 mins or until soft.
  4. Put soft baked squash in a mixing bowl and add chopped chocolate/combine until completely melted. Whizz this mixture until it resembles a puree.
  5. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar, using a handheld blender, whisk until light and fluffy, then fold in the cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
  6. Now fold in the chocolate butternut squash puree until combined fully.
  7. Transfer to pre-lined baking tin and bake for 25-30 minutes (maybe more, check by putting a skewer into the middle to test if still gooey!!)
