Funny story, I hate chocolate. Well, "most" chocolate. My entire life I have always been more of a vanilla girl but over the past few years, I have developed a taste for dark chocolate and even rich moist chocolate cakes and brownies on occasion.
I was on the hunt for brownies that not only taste good but I can also feel good about eating. That turned out ot be an impossible task so I decided to experiment in the kitchen and created a new brownie recipe and guess what?!?!? They are THE BEST brownies I have had in a LOOOONG time AND they are nutritious!!! Absolutely LOADED with nutrients, superfoods & functional mushrooms! They are also vegan, gluten free & contain NO refined sugar! 🙌🏽
Your search for the perfectly moist and delicious brownie, that is actually good for you is over! 🙂
INGREDIENTS:
1 & 1/2 cups baked Okinawa Sweet Potatoes
1/4 cup Cassava Flour
1/2 cup Date Syrup or Maple Syrup
1 tbsp Coconut Oil (mine was room temp, so it was in solid form)
1/2 cup Cashew Milk Concentrate - use code HOLISTICHILDA for a discount (you can substitute w/ cashew butter)
1/2 Tbsp Vanilla
1 Flax Egg (you can substitute with 1 real egg)
1/3 cup Semi-sweet Dark Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup "Real Mushrooms Hot Chocolate" (You can substitute w/ cacao powder but I am sure it will change the flavor)
A big pinch of Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit
Put all ingredients except chocolate chips into a large bowl and mix until smooth
Add chocolate chips and gently fold in
Pour into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. The batter will be thick
Bake at 350 F on top shelf for 35 minutes or until knife comes out clean
Let cool for 15 minutes and ENJOY!
I left these out on the counter with parchment paper over the top for one night and they still tasted wonderful the next day. I put them in an airtight container in the fridge after that and was SHOCKED to see that they almost tasted better cold the next day! Still moist and flavorful!
Let me know if you try this recipe and what you think! :)
