Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170C and grease and line a rectangular baking tin.
  2. Place the cooked/pureed apples in a blender with the melted coconut oil, CherryActive concentrate, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla. Whizz up until smooth.
  3. Mix together the oat flour, cacao powder, coconut sugar, flaxseeds, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and ground ginger in a large bowl.
  4. Pour in the blended ingredients and fold in the cherries. You should have a smooth chocolate batter.
  5. Spoon this into your prepared tin and smooth out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until firmed up and cooked through. Leave to cool completely then cut into 12.
  6. When the brownies have cooled, make the drizzle: Gently melt the coconut oil and maple syrup, then whisk in the cacao powder and ginger. Drizzle over – now enjoy!
  7. Keep any remaining brownies in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
