Let’s be real: we all crave brownies. The fudgy center, the rich cocoa hit, that little crackly top? Pure bliss. But what if we told you that you could have your brownie and eat it too—without the sugar crash or the guilt? Meet your new obsession: our High Fibre Brownie Recipe made with miNATURALS Inulin.
This isn’t your average healthified dessert that tastes like cardboard. These brownies are rich, chocolatey, and satisfyingly chewy—and they sneak in a punch of fibre thanks to our favourite secret ingredient: Inulin. Plus, they’re super easy to whip up. So grab your mixing bowl, and let’s bake something sweet and smart.
Why Add Fibre to Brownies?
Fibre is the unsung hero of the nutrition world. It supports gut health, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and keeps you feeling full longer. And while most people think of fibre in the form of boring bran cereals, miNATURALS is here to prove it belongs in dessert, too.
miNATURALS Inulin is a plant-based prebiotic fibre sourced from chicory root. It blends seamlessly into baking, with no weird aftertaste, and adds natural sweetness and a moist texture to your baked goods. Plus, it’s made right here in Canada and manufactured in GMP-certified facilities, so you know you’re getting a clean, effective ingredient.
High Fibre Brownie Recipe
Makes: 12 brownies
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 25-30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup miNATURALS Inulin
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, almond flour, miNATURALS Inulin, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter!).
- Let cool completely before slicing. Yes, we know it’s hard. But trust us: the texture improves as it sets.
