AT SCALE: for the more traditional sour-cream based onion dip in a larger quantity, utilize ONE (1) 3-pound container of sour cream to an entire onion soup replacement recipe jar-full of this DIY onion soup mix above.

Raw Dough Fudge-Brownies

Recently, I had a happy accident! While trying a fudge-brownie recipe, I accidentally left out one of the most important ingredients. Minus that important ingredient–viola raw brownie dough was born! Egg free, too, so it is safe to enjoy a spoonful or two.

YIELD: 20 servings of a scoop on a regular spoon (the kind you normally eat with, not the measuring kind).

WHAT IS NEEDED?

For this recipe you will need to gather: two spoons, two small to medium sized bowls, a clean spice or coffee grinder, the 1/4 cup measuring cup, the 1 TBSP measuring spoon, cinnamon, coconut flour, cocoa, chia seeds, the Walden’s syrup

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 TBSP Chia Seeds
• 9 TBSP water
• 1/4 Cup Walden Farms Maple Walnut zero syrup.
• 1/4 Cup Hersey’s Special Dark Cocoa (yes, you can use carob powder instead, if desired)
• 1/4 Cup Coconut flour
• 1 dash of cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin by grinding 3 TBSP of chia seeds in a clean spice grinder or coffee grinder. You want a nice “flour” from the seeds.
2. Mix the chia flour into 9 TBSP water.
3. Stir well to fully incorporate this fake egg mixture, breaking up any clumps, and taking care to ensure there aren’t any floury dry spots. You want this mixed really well.
4. Place your fake chia-water egg mixture into the fridge to rest while you prep the other ingredients.
5. Next, in a medium sized bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and coconut flour until both are well incorporated and there are no lumps (you can also sift it if you would like).
6. Add the dash of cinnamon and walden’s syrup to the chocolate mixture. Incorporate well.
7. Add the chia egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and combine well. Now it is ready to enjoy a spoonful from time to time. This makes approximately 20 single spoonful servings.
