A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with liver cancer and her diet became more restrictive. After doing some research, I found that more protein could help so I came up with these so that she could have a relatively healthy treat with her healthy diet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup flaxseed oil
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ounces 70% dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan.
Step 2
Spread mixed nuts onto a baking sheet.
Step 3
Toast in preheated oven until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
Step 4
Mix brown sugar, flaxseed oil, and butter together in a bowl until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Add 2/3 cup toasted nuts, almond flour, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, dark chocolate, and baking powder; mix batter well.
Step 5
Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup toasted nuts on top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Substitute sunflower oil for the flaxseed oil if desired.
