Method

Raspberry Chia Jam
  1. Combine the raspberries, sweetener and water in a pot and simmer. Stir and mash the raspberries until they are the desired consistency. 
  2. Remove from the heat and add the chia seeds. Mix well and allow to cool. Put in the refrigerator for an hour to allow it to set.
peanut butter sauce
  1. Melt all the ingredients together and mix until they are well combined.
  2. Set aside.
chocolate brownie
  1. Mix the Clean Lean Protein, almond flour, cocoa and baking powder in a bowl. Blend the almond milk, melted coconut oil (remember just melted, not hot), flax eggs and vanilla and add to the dry ingredients. Mix well and add to a baking dish.
  2. Add dollops of the peanut butter sauce and the raspberries chia jam. Swirl the peanut butter sauce and the raspberry chia jam to partially combine.
  3. Bake at 170ºC for 30-40 minutes (keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t burn). A ceramic baking dish takes a little longer than a metal baking dish. Allow to cool completely before cutting and removing brownies from pan.
  4. Enjoy!

TIP: Flax eggs are a simple and effective egg replacer. Use 1 tbsp flax meal plus 3 tbsp water per flax egg. Prepare a few minutes before use by mixing the flax meal and water thoroughly, and leaving aside to thicken.
