Healthy Brownies (Yay!)
These HEALTHY BROWNIES are absolutely delicious! (Hover mouse over image to Pin)
Everyone loves brownies, or at least everyone who is clinically SANE lol.
I’ve got just a little bit of a sweet tooth and I may have to start going to the CA meetings soon (Choco-holics Anonymous).
These brownies are so moist and chocolate-y but best of all, they’re actually GOOD FOR YOU unlike most sugar and white flour loaded brownies you’ll find.
Plus, they’re gluten-free if you’re celiac or intolerant to gluten and nut-free, so you won’t get in trouble if you pack them into a school lunch… But you may just want to eat them all yourself. 😉
Here’s the recipe, give it a shot – you’ll never go back once you’ve tried it once:
