This recipe is the taste of true chocolate and combines all that Clarrie strives for with his food – fresh, homemade and organic. It’s simple to make, quick to bake and delicious to eat! The chia gives it a unique flavour, as does the authentic chocolate. Use more or less honey to flavour the chocolate, depending on how dark you like your chocolate.

Preparation

In a small saucepan, add about 2cm of water. Bring to a simmer and place heatproof bowl over the top.

Add the cacao butter to the bowl and remove from the heat. Allow the residual heat to melt the butter. Add the agave syrup and mix well.

Mix in the cacao powder, one third at a time, mixing well before each addition.

Once mixed, remove from the saucepan and set aside to add to the brownies.

You should have about 1 cup of liquid chocolate remaining.

Place the butter into a small saucepan. Pour in the chocolate mixture and stir until the butter is incorporated. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.

Add the salt and honey, and stir to combine. Repeat with the chia seeds and flour. Add the egg, stirring as you go, then add the vanilla essence. Fold in the hazelnuts and stir.

Pour the brownie mixture into a foiled-lined greased baking pan (38 x 25 x 2.5) and bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out almost clean.

Remove from oven and allow to cool. Turn out onto rack and cut into squares to serve.
