Crazy Cauliflower Chocolate Brownies

There are those out there on the lovely internet that are truly magnificently insane. And amongst them is this woman. She has a recipe, so crazy that many would shy back to try it. But I'm telling you, you simple have to try it. It takes a little bit more work than I'd normal be up for but it's so worth it!

When you are craving, and you need that little bit of chocolate but without messing up your diet, this is the way to go. You can find the original recipe here but below is my version.

Ingredients:

250 gr raw cauliflower

150 ml almond milk (I used Alpro Soya)

80 gr dark chocolate (I got Stevia chocolate at the local Bio shop)

100 gr cup butter

3 tbsp cream cheese

3 eggs

100 gr ground almonds (almond flour, also at the local Bio shop)

4 tsp cocoa powder

3 tbsp sugar equivalent

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt to make the baking powder work
50 gr coconut flour(optional)
A few drops op Vanilla essence (optional)

Directions:

1. Puree your raw, washed, cauliflower and add to it the almond milk. Make sure its completely smooth and that there are no chunks.  
2. Melt the butter and chocolate. I just did it in the microwave. Less clean-up after :D   
3. Mix the melted butter and chocolate with the cauli and milk mixture.  Give it another good blend.  
4. Add the eggs and again stir it till everything's mixed.  
5. Now one by one, add all of the dry ingredients into the bowl with the mixture.  Stir after each addition.
6. I also added about 3 drops of vanilla essence. You don't have to, but I found it gave the brownies an extra 'sweet' flavor without adding extra carbs.

Grease a baking pan and spread the batter evenly into it.  Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C for about 35 minutes. Near the end, poke it with a knife. If the knife comes back clean, then you have a winner! Cut in cute little squares.
Note: They are quite brittle when they are still warm so I'd advise you to let them cool before you cut.

And there you have it, insane isn't it?
Don't tell people what's in them. Wait till they compliment you on how the brownies taste and then tell them they that just ate vegetables. They won't believe you... but you and I now know that it's true.

Sorry I didn't include pictures. They were eaten before I had the change :D

Enjoy
