Virgin Chocolate Chunk Brownies With Maple & Benton Bacon image

I created this recipe using whole grain pastry flour from Bobs Red Mill and Olive Oil from California Olive Ranch for a promo I was doing for them on my website 30A EATS. It was a big hit! Any Bacon or Maple Syrup will do, and if you want to leave out the Bacon you can. I love the sweet and salty flavor it gave to the brownies.

Time 30m

Yield 9 large brownies, 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate pieces
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Preparation:.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F Line an 8-inch (20cm) square baking pan with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Whisk in the COR olive oil and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl using high speed of an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Beat in the syrup and salt, then fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the BRM flour, then gently stir in the bacon. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes. Mine became aromatic at 20 minutes and at 25 minutes, they had a shiny, dry, slightly crackly top. Let cool completely. Cut into squares.
