Healthy Paleo Brownies

IMG_6080After a night of intense studying, I passed my Biology test! I’m in the process of finishing off some pre-requisite courses needed for a Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine…my dream!

When you’re an English teacher and a student, you need to find time for dessert.

Scratch that, everyone deserves some dessert!

So here you go…

Ingredients:

  • 3 bananas
  • 3 tbsp Carob Powder (I use “Now Foods”)
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil (You can buy the “Kirkland” brand in bulk at Costco.)
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/4 cup Flaxseed Meal (or ground flaxseeds)
  • 1 Egg (Antibiotic-Free)
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Celtic Sea Salt

Extras:

  • 90% dark chocolate
  • Nut Butter (I love Barney’s Blanched Almond Butter!)
  • Jam (try out my Raspberry Cherry Chia Jam!)

Recipe:

  1. Blend your bananas and coconut oil in a food processor.
  2. Pour into a bowl and add your dry ingredients: carob powder, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda and salt.
  3. Pop it into your oven and the rest is history. πŸ™‚
  4. Once cooled, add melted 90% dark chocolate and swirl in your favorite nut butter. Then top with your favorite homemade jam.

Tastes just like a brownie with tons of added fiber from coconut flour, flaxseed and bananas.

How beautiful.
