A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with liver cancer and her diet became more restrictive. After doing some research, I found that more protein could help so I came up with these so that she could have a relatively healthy treat with her healthy diet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cups flaxseed oil
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter , softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ounces 70% dark chocolate , broken into small pieces
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Spread mixed nuts onto a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Toast in preheated oven until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.

    Mix brown sugar, flaxseed oil, and butter together in a bowl until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Add 2/3 cup toasted nuts, almond flour, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, dark chocolate, and baking powder; mix batter well.
