Apple Walnut Brownies (Non-Dairy)

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c virgin coconut oil, melted

3/4 c  coconut sugar

1/2 c Snack Primal Walnuts, chopped (try with Naked, Blueberry or Root Beer Flavored)

1 c soy yogurt

2 medium Ginger Gold (or Granny Smith) apples, peeled and chopped into small dice (about 2 1/2 cups)

1 c whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F with rack placed in the center of the oven. Grease an ovenproof 8×8″ baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, add melted coconut oil and coconut sugar and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in walnuts, soy yogurt, and chopped apples until ingredients are combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda.

Add flour mixture to apple mixture and stir gently until just combined. The “brownie” batter will be thick.

Spread batter evenly into prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for at least 45 minutes before cutting into 12 bars.
