Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small square baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.

  3. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and brewed Earl Grey tea. Stir to form a thick batter.

  4. Press batter evenly into the pan and bake for 10–12 minutes. Let cool completely.

  5. For the panna cotta, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and whisk over medium heat.

  6. Once mixture begins to simmer, cook for 1–2 minutes to activate the agar.

  7. Pour over the cooled brownie base. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

  8. Slice into bars and garnish with lemon slices or edible flowers before serving.

Notes

  • Brew Earl Grey tea strongly for more flavor intensity.

  • For best results, use canned coconut milk for its creaminess.

  • Bars can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.

  • Substitute almond milk with oat or soy if preferred.
