Ingredients

3 eggs (approximately 188g)
150 g sugar
1 pinch salt
50 g sunflower oil
50 g milk
160 g sweet cassava starch
50 g cocoa powder (100% cocoa – do not use chocolate drink mix)
150 g semi-sweet chocolate (melted - you can use 200 g if you prefer)
40 g milk
60 g cashew nuts (chopped)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients so you can get a perfect batter.
2
In the mixer bowl, add the eggs, sugar, and the pinch of salt. Beat until you get a light and fluffy foam.
3
Add the milk and oil to the mixture and continue beating until well incorporated.
4
Turn off the mixer, remove the bowl, and gradually add the sweet cassava starch, stirring gently until the starch is incorporated into the batter.
5
Add the cocoa powder to the mixture and continue stirring slowly. It is important to stir slowly so as not to compromise the structure of the brownie.
6
In a microwave-safe container, melt the chocolate in short intervals, stirring every 30 seconds to ensure it melts evenly.
7
When the chocolate is completely melted, add the milk and mix well until you get a creamy and homogeneous consistency. Then add the chopped cashew nuts and mix.
8
Add this chocolate mixture to the brownie batter and stir (always slowly) until all the ingredients are incorporated.
9
Grease a pan with oil and dust with cocoa powder to prevent the brownie from sticking.
10
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
12
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting into pieces.
13
Now you have a delicious brownie, perfect for those with dietary restrictions or who simply want to vary.
