Dreamy hazelnut brownies made with @zazubean Creamy Hazelnut Slinky Bars, extra virgin olive oil for decadent texture, and a hint of espresso to boost the chocolate flavor. These rich and fudgy brownies are vegan and gluten-free.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line an 8x8 inch baking tray with parchment paper. In a small sauce pot, add the chocolate hazelnut bars and olive oil. Bring to medium-low heat, stirring constantly until melted and mixed well, then set aside. In a mixing bowl, add the vegan yogurt, date sugar, and melted chocolate mixture, whisking until combined. Add the espresso powder (optional), chocolate protein powder, almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, and salt. Fold everything together until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top. Bake for 24-26 minutes or until browning around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
