dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: cocoa powder + coconut oil

Cocoa powder + coconut oil mimics the richness of dark chocolate.

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds healthy fats while margarine is a cost-effective substitute.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: pecans

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Pecans offer a similar texture while sunflower seeds are more affordable.

Melt dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in the microwave or using a banmarie until smooth.

Whisk together 3 whole eggs and granulated sugar until combined, but not fluffy.

Add the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, whisking until combined.

Add all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the mixture and mix until just combined, avoiding adding air.

Prepare the baking tin by greasing it and lining it with greaseproof paper, leaving handles for easy removal.

Spoon and dollop apricot jam (about a third to half a jar) over the brownie batter and swirl it through without mixing too much.

Bake in the oven at 140°C for 40 to 45 minutes, or until there is no wobble left in the middle.

Let the brownies cool completely, ideally refrigerating them to set properly.
