Equipment

7 x 11 inch baking dish
parchment paper

Ingredients

¾ cup cacao nibs
4 tbsp coconut oil melted
½ cup semi-sweet dark chocolate chips
½ cup unsweetened almond milk can be replace with another nut milk of your choice
1 tsp kosher salt
½ cup granulated sugar
1 banana mashed (can be swapped with 1 egg if you do not care to have dairy-free brownies)
¾ cup almond flour
1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° farenheit and line a 7 x 11 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the paper hangs over the sides.
In a small pot, add cacao nibs, chocolate chips, coconut oil, and milk. Bring to a boil and stir until chocolate chips are half melted. This may take a few minutes because it takes a bit for the nibs to soften up. About 15 to 20 minutes. Just keep an eye on the pot to not let the chocolate burn on the bottom.
Remove from heat and whisk in salt and sugar until dissolved; about 5 minutes.
Then whisk in the mashed banana and flour. Fold in the walnuts and pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Can sprinkle with more chocolate chips or walnuts if desired.
Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Then, remove from pan and cut into squares to serve.

Notes

How can my kids help? with supervision help, your kids stir the pot of chocolate until it melts. They can also help add the remaining ingredients or fold in the walnuts.

Gluten-free flours lack elasticity so your brownies might end up falling apart if not baked correctly. If this is the case then add xanthan gum to your mix. This will help thicken your brownies so do not crumble. I would add about 1 tbsp.

To store the brownies, you need to make sure these are completely cooled before cutting into them. Once you cut them up into squares put them in an airtight container. Store them in your fridge for up to 3 days or put them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
