Chocolate and Coffee Brownies (Coconut Flour & Chia Seed)

Sharing is caring!

I’ve been playing around with ground chia seed as a flour and added some coconut flour to bake a moist and delicious brownie.  I was so pleased with my first batch that somehow we ate the whole lot before I could get round to taking a photograph of them.  So I baked another batch the next day.  It’s with a small degree of shame that I confess we also ate these before taking a photograph.   Finally, another batch was made and I managed to whip out my camera before eating them!

I used my coffee grinder to grind the chia seeds to a fine powder.  The Chief Taster said he could taste a slight nuttiness of the chia but I think he was looking for the taste once I told him what was in the brownies (he’s not a fan of chia).  I find whisking the ingredients help to make the brownie light but you could just as easily used a spoon and a strong arm!  They are delicious warm and also seem to improve the next day (I only found this out on my third batch…much to my shame!)
