The walnut brownies from Spoonsparrow combine crunch with heavenly chocolate flavor – it just can’t get any better!

Ingredients

120 g butter
400 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
80 g whole cane sugar
120 g unsweetened applesauce
50 ml oat milk
0.5 tsp vanilla powder
3 eggs
150 g spelt whole‑grain flour
30 g almond flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
120 g walnut kernels

Instructions

1.
Melt butter and 300 g dark chocolate over a bain‑marie and let it cool slightly.
2.
Stir in the whole cane sugar, applesauce, oat milk, and vanilla powder. Beat each egg into the mixture one at a time.
3.
Combine spelt flour, almond flour, and cocoa powder. Roughly chop walnuts and set aside about 40 g; finely chop the remaining chocolate.
4.
Fold the reserved walnuts, chopped chocolate, and dry mix into the batter. Pour into a parchment‑lined baking pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved nuts over the surface and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (160 °C fan or gas level 2–3) for about 40 minutes. Cool completely, cut into 20 squares, and serve.
