Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, cocoa powder, and honey. Mix thoroughly using a whisk or electric mixer until the ingredients are completely blended and smooth.
- Crack the eggs into the mixture, then add vanilla extract and salt. Whisk or mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter becomes uniform in color and texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top surface.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet.
- Remove from the oven and let the baden cool in the pan for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the baden out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 8 equal squares and serve. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better your cocoa powder and almond butter, the more luxurious your baden will taste.
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure eggs and other ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and more consistent baking.
- Don't overmix: Blend just until ingredients are combined to keep the texture light and tender.
- Check for doneness early: Ovens can vary, so start checking around 20 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- Cool completely before cutting: This helps the baden set and makes for cleaner, more precise squares.
- Optional enhancements: Sprinkle sea salt, add chopped nuts, or drizzle with melted dark chocolate for extra indulgence.
- Storage tip: For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days.
