I’ve been craving chocolate and had some chestnut pieces I had to use up from syrup making, why not use the two together?
Chewy Chestnut Brownies: Makes 12
- 1/2 cup butter (we used avocado butter)
- 8 oz dark chocolate (we used vegan dark chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla or chestnut syrup
- 2 eggs (or egg replacement)
- 1/2 cup flour (I used all purpose you could also use whole wheat)
- 1/2 cup roasted chestnuts, chopped
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- To a microwave safe bowl, add your butter and chocolate. Microwave in 30 second intervals until completely melted. For my microwave, it took about 3 – 30 second bursts.
- Allow to cool slightly, then mix in your sugars thoroughly.
- Mix in your vanilla, and 1 egg, mixing completely before adding the next egg and mixing until well combined.
- Add in your flour, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in your chestnut pieces gently.
- Grease a 9×9 square pan well (or a muffin tin) and add in your batter. If using the muffin tin, add about 2 oz of batter per cup.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, rotating your pan halfway through to promote even baking.
- Allow to cool, then enjoy!
- Try topped with whipped cream or even with edible cookie dough!
