- 1 ½ Tablespoons ground chia seeds
- ¼ cup Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour
- ¼ cup avocado oil

Instructions
- Brownies: Preheat the oven to 180°/ 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.

- In a bowl mix together the cassava flour, brownie mix, oil vanilla and chia seed mix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-30 mins or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not gooey or wet. Leave the brownies to cool completely for at least 20 - 30 mins.
- Chocolate Ganache: As the brownies cool, make the ganache, by heating together the chocolate and milk in the microwave for 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
- Pour it over the cooled brownies and start to make the crème brûlée topping.
- Crème Brûlée: Heat the milk, sugar and cassava flour in a pan until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the eat and add the coconut cream.
- Return the pan to the heat and whisk continuously until thick.
- Allow the crème brûlée to cool before pouring it over the brownies. Set in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the crème brûlée and caramelize it using a blow torch, or set the oven to broil and temperature to 500°F and broil for around a minute, or until lightly golden. Slice and enjoy!
