Gluten free chocolate cake bites

These brownies are one of my favourites! I have quite a sweet tooth so these brownies are perfect and do the job for little indulgence every now and then. You probably already have the ingredients in your cupboard!!

Recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a cup cake tin with cases. Or you can line a cake tin and make this recipe into a cake which is what I normally do. 

  2. Melt dark chocolate on the stove or microwave. Then add maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and mix them together. 

  3. Once the liquid ingredients are all mixed add cacao powder, sugar, buckwheat flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. 

  4. Finally pour mixture into your cupcake tin or cake tin and bake for 12-15 minutes. 

 Once they are cooked and cooled down I like to sprinkle a bit of icing sugar on them.
