Best EVER Brownies

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello everyone and welcome,

Today I’m going to share my Best Ever Brownie recipe with you. If you wanna take your brownies up a notch….you’re going to love this recipe. It’s rich-chocolatey-fudgy-nutrient rich, goodness.

So a few weeks back I’m in my local organic market and I stumble upon fermented cacao. I flip the bag over and read the ingredients and nutrient content and it was at this moment I fell in love.

What’s not to love it’s fermented, my latest obsession, it’s chocolate which has always been an obsession, it’s packed full of nutrients and no toxic chemicals, my forever obsessions. After using this cacao I just can’t go back to cacao that’s not fermented. This richness and taste are incredible.

Now with all that being said….let’s get into the reason your here…..the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 C organic coconut palm sugar
1/2 C organic grass-fed melted butter ( coconut oil as a vegan option)
2 organic eggs ( or vegan alternatives of choice)

1/3 C organic fermented cacao powder
1/2 C organic sprouted spelt flour
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp organic moringa leaf powder (optional)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°.
Oil or butter and flour brownie pan.
Mix eggs and sugar until nice and fluffy. Next add butter, mix to incorporate. Sift in flour, cacao, salt, baking powder and moringa leaf powder, mix until smooth.
Add brownie batter to greased and floured brownie pan. Bake @350° for 25-30 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy!

Now let’s talk about all the nutrient goodness of this recipe. The cacao is loaded with nutrient goodness such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and has a deeper, richer chocolate flavor.

I like to add different herbs to my desserts just to give it added nutrients without my family being able to detect the taste and it works wonderfully.

Here are just some of the benefits of moringa leaves.

Now that I’ve shared my Best EVER Brownie recipe with you, I hope you will give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as my family and I do.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, I greatly appreciate it.
