Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or brushing with melted coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and maple syrup. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda to the almond butter mixture. Stir thoroughly to create a uniform batter with no dry spots.
- Fold in the vanilla extract and mix until completely blended. The batter should have a rich, dark chocolate color and smooth consistency.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. Reserve a small handful for topping if desired.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared tart pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top. If reserved, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on the surface.
- Place the tart pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. The brownie tart is done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. The tart will continue to set as it cools.
- Once cooled, carefully remove from the tart pan by pushing up the removable bottom. Slice into 8 wedges and serve.
- Optional: Dust with additional cocoa powder or top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, ensure your almond butter is at room temperature. This will help it blend more smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips and pure maple syrup to enhance the flavor of your brownie tart. The better the ingredients, the richer the taste!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a denser texture, so be gentle!
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your tart as it bakes. It’s done when the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs for that perfect fudgy texture.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the tart to cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes for cleaner cuts.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Feel free to top your tart with a dusting of cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped coconut cream for an extra touch of elegance.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for a quick treat later!
