A Fun & Festive Healthified Holiday Dessert

  • December 15, 2020
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These brownies encourage you to break away from those traditional holiday desserts you are accustomed to baking, to play around with some superfoods for a nutritious (yet still delicious!) treat. The combination of goji berries, shredded coconut, and pistachios provide a festive flare. This is a fun recipe to make with your kids, or bring to a holiday party.

Equipment

  • 8×8 baking dish
  • parchment paper/cooking spray
  • stand/hand-mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups buckwheat flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 eggs, beaten and brought to room temperature
  • ½ cup coconut oil, metled
  • ⅓ cup dairy-free milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons goji berries, soaked in water for at least 10 minutes and then drained
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, cacao powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture and beat until a batter is formed.
  • Pour batter into the baking dish. Top with goji berries, shredded coconut, and pistachios. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to press the toppings gently into the batter.
  • Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
