Cocoa brownies with roasted walnuts

          Delicious brownie with walnuts and made entirely with cocoa powder. 

You will need for about 15 pieces:

 140g of butter
1 cup of brown sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder (sweetened or unsweetened)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup of Spelt flour 
2/3 cup of roasted walnuts

Preheat the oven for 170 degrees.
Roast the walnuts on the hot frying pan for about 1 minute.

Mix butter, salt ,cocoa and sugar in a heatproof  bowl or a cooking pan ( in my case) and set in a wide skillet of simmering water.  Stir from time to time and make sure that the mixture is melting. It should be rather smooth and hot. Once everything is nicely combined together, remove the pan and put on the side to cool down.

Then add the vanilla extract and the eggs one by one. Mix all well with a wooden spoon until shiny and sticky. Add the flour and walnuts. Mix well and pour the mixture into the baking pan with the baking paper inside it.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.

     Once the brownie had cooled down I poured some maple syrup on top.
