200 gr dark chocolate 39%, chopped
100 gr butter softened
85 gr caster sugar

85 gr ground almonds
5 tablespoons (40 gr) gluten free breadcrumbs

Preheat your oven to 180C. Line your 25cm square tin or brownie tin with baking paper. Put the chocolate and the butter in a micro-proof bowl, cover and set on high for 30 seconds. Or Au-bain-Marie if you prefer. Stir, and continue to melt. When cool, stir in half the sugar and the egg yolks.


Whisk the egg whites until they form nice peaks and add the rest of the sugar. Then whisk some more until it is glossy. Stir everything into the chocolate mix and gently fold it into a nice mixture.
Pour it into your prepared tin and top it with the pecan nuts. Bake it in your prepapred oven for about 25-30 minutes. Cool it in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out and leave it to cool completely on your wire rack. Then you can cut it into nice little squares and serve.
