Peppermint Brownies – Grain Free and Gluten Free

Raise your hand if you like chocolate…ok and now raise your hand if you just can’t seem to walk away from a plate of delicious chocolate peppermint brownies during the holidays.

We thought so and you know why? Because we feel the same way! Which is why we love this recipe for grain-free, gluten free, extra delicious Peppermint Brownies.

Eating chocolate – specifically raw cacao can be incredibly beneficial for your health but there is a big difference between the highly processed cocoa you typically find in the grocery store and raw cacao.

Gluten Free Peppermint Brownies

Peppermint Brownies

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained

2 large eggs

1/4 cup raw cacoa powder – get it here.

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup maple syrup (or coconut sugar)

1/3 cup coconut oil (or grass-fed butter)

½ teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

4 drops Peppermint essential oil

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or use cacao nibs). We love these from Enjoy Life.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place all ingredients, except for chocolate chips, in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  3. Pour into greased 8×8-inch pan and top with chocolate chips.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  5. Let cool and cut into pieces.

Note: Because these are so delicious, I suggest making a double batch, and freezing half.

With love and chocolate,
