Shockingly delicious bacon brownies that are totally Paleo and who would have thought. So this dessert totally plays into my recent Pork kick. I was going to just dip some bacon in chocolate but decided to do one better. Here you end up with Chocolate Bacon Brownies which can easily be converted to a cake. The process for this for me was a little long because instead of traditionally cooking the bacon, I baked it in 100% Pure Maple Syrup to try and really give it that sweetness to pair well with the saltiness of the Bacon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did, especially since I ate about 8 of them.
Ingredients
Method
- Place bacon slices on a aluminum foil lined baking sheet
- Taking about 2 tbsp 100% raw maple syrup and a basting brush, brush the tops of all the bacon generously with maple syrup
- PLACE IN A COLD OVEN, and then turn the oven on 400 Degrees F
- Come back in 20 minutes and you should have perfectly cooked bacon in maple syrup
- Pull out of the oven, and place on paper towels to absorb the fat
- Place the bacon in your food processor and finely chop to later add to the brownies
- Preheat oven to 325 Degrees F
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer blend your almond butter to make it a smoother consistency
- Next blend in your two eggs
- Now blend in the honey and the vanilla
- Add the salt, baking soda, and then SLOWLY add in the cacao powder or else you will take a chocolate powder bath like I did the first time
- Add the coconut milk and continue to mix well
- Now fold in the bacon and mix well by hand to ensure an even distribution of it all
- Divide your batter between your 24 cupcake cups and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
- Enjoy
