Ingredients:
1.5 cups brown rice flour
1/4 cup oat flour
a pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup coconut sugar (more if necessary)
1 tbsp vegan butter, melted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (more or less depending on taste)
1 cup non-dairy milk
3-4 tbsp macadamia nut meal
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips + a dab of vegan butter, all melted
Optional: toppings such as coconut flakes or dried goji berries
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread a thin layer of vegan butter or olive oil in a small baking pan.
Combine the flours, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, chia seeds, cocoa powder and coconut sugar in a large bowl and mix well. If you don’t have or want to use oat flour, just omit it and add an extra 1/4 cup of brown rice flour instead.
Melted the butter and add the peanut butter to it. Whisk together to help it soften before adding to the dry mixture.
After soaking the raw macadamia nuts overnight, drain and rinse them. Then put in the blender with some fresh filtered water and blended until as smooth as possible. Then strain to separate the milk from the leftover nut pieces (nut meal). Top tip: store the homemade macadamia nut milk in the fridge and use for your tea, coffee, or cereal!
Add your butter/peanut butter mixture, vanilla extract, non dairy milk and nut meal to the dry ingredients. Stir well and adjust ingredient if needed (if it’s dry add more milk, if it’s too thin add more peanut butter or flour).
Pour the batter into a baking pan and put in the preheated oven for about 10-15 mins.
Melt some semisweet chocolate chips with a little vegan butter and smooth over the finished cake like frosting. Sprinkle coconut flakes and dried goji berries on top and enjoy!
