Hazelnut Chocolate Loaf (Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free)
This hazelnut chocolate loaf has a lovely texture. It is mostly sweetened with fruits and also vegan, gluten-free and oil-free.
Ingredients
- 140 g hazelnuts best dry roasted in pan and then skins rubbed off, ground
- 140 g buckwheat flour
- 40 g FAIR-TRADE cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or sweetener of your choice
- 1 tbsp psyllium fiber ground
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 140 g dates pitted and diced
- 400 ml water
For the chocolate glaze
- 120 g FAIR-TRADE chocolate
- 50 ml plant mylk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (top-/bottom heat). Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- In a high-speed blender, blend the dates and water until smooth.
- Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and swiftly stir to combine (don’t over stir).
- Spread the dough evenly in the loaf tin. Bake for approx. 25 minutes or until an inserted wooden skewer comes out clean.
- Let cool down before glazing. For the chocolate glaze I melt 120g FAIR-TRADE chocolate with 50ml plant mylk in a bowl that sits in hot water. After spreading the chocolate onto the loaf I garnish it with more chopped hazelnuts. Enjoy :)
