Almonds are a naturally rich source of magnesium, so we have doubled the dose here with almond meal and almond pieces. Almond meal is also rich in protein and essential amino acids to support collagen synthesis, meaning that each brownie bite adds some quality protein, with over 5.0g per serve. 70% dark chocolate also helps to bump up the magnesium levels, with each brownie bite providing over 25% of your RDI (Recommended Dietary Intake) for the nutrient! As if we needed another excuse for a second piece!
1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C and line a 30cm x 20cm slice pan with non-stick paper.
2. Place the melted chocolate, olive oil and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Gradually add in the eggs and vanilla and whisk to form a smooth, glossy consistency.
3. Add the cocoa powder, almond meal and baking powder and mix well. Fold in the almonds and raspberries.
4. Pour mixture into the lined pan and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until firm. Set aside to cool in pan, before slicing into 24 pieces.
