Flourless Brownies

Post by: KATHY SKINNER in All
It may surprise you to know these flourless brownies are made with Black beans. They are a delicious and nutritional, full of fiber and protein compared to traditional chocolate brownies. Don’t be nervous about baking with black beans, they have a mild flavor and are extremely rich and creamy. You can also boost the flavor and health benefits of your brownie with essential oils such as Peppermint, Wild Orange, Cinnamon, Cassia or even Lavender.

  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 drops Cassia essential oil (or Wild Orange, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Lavender)   (purchase essential oils that can be ingested HERE)

NOTES:
  • These brownies freezes well. Great way to have a little something after dinner!
  • I use the oils because it ups the medicinal/nutritional values and flavor for the foods I eat.
  • Not all essential oils are safe to use internally. To learn more click HERE to connect with me
