Ingredients

2 large eggs

1 cup nut butter (see tip)

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoon coconut sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

130 gram dark chocolate, minimum 70% cocoa, roughly chopped

1 1/2 cup fresh berries – we used raspberries, blackberries and blueberries

Method

1.Preheat oven to 160ºC, fan bake. Line a swiss roll tin, or similar, with baking paper.

2.In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, nut butter, maple syrup and coconut sugar until mixed well. Fold in the baking soda, 3/4 of the chopped chocolate and half of the fruit.

3.Pour the batter into the lined tin and sprinkle the remaining chocolate and fruit over top. Press in slightly.

4.Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until golden and puffed up and the centre has lost its batter look and taken on more of a cake look.

5.Cool in the tin before turning out and cutting into squares.

Making your own nut butter is easy if you have a blender or food processor: To make a cup, place about 200g roasted nuts (cashew, almond, hazelnuts, etc) into a blender and process until the nuts release their oils and form a butter. It can take 5-7 minutes of blending.
