This recipe sounds delicious! Unfortunately I am allergic to all tree nuts. Might there be a recommended substitute for the almond flour? In place of almond milk, I have been drinking oat milk and also using in some recipes which seems to work okay. Could the same apply to oat flour?
Not sure if you can eat coconut oil, but this is how I like to make chocolate sauce. I melt 3 Tbsp of coconut oil in a small microwave proof bowl. Add 4-5 Tbsp of cocoa powder and mix well. Add 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract, a few grains of salt plus pure maple syrup to taste (about 1 Tbsp). This makes a delicious chocolate sauce as long as it is room temp. This will also make mini chocolate candies by spooning 1 Tbsp into mini cupcake liners, then placing them into the fridge to harden. Delicious , melt in your mouth chocolate!
I made this to drizzle over the Outrageous Brownies for dinner when we had company. Delicious! I did add a touch of Almond milk to get the consistency I wanted. I can see this being used for many different recipes.
