Mint Fudge Brownie Loaf - The Healthiest Version Ever

 
 
IMG_8836.jpeg

The brownie recipe I post a couple weeks ago blew up and people were making and enjoying. Then Steph, the founder and owner of NuIt, made a healthier version. I used that today while also adding a splash of maple syrup, cacao in the batter and a little nut milk for consistency. No coconut oil in this recipe! Steph also used oat flour instead of almond flour making it more affordable to make on a regular basis. Who doesn’t want brownies weekly?

If you haven’t seen the other version, check it out here.

Feel free to increase oat flour and coconut based on size of pan. I’m using a standard long metal banana loaf style pan.

Oh, and the mint chocolate I used actually goes so well with chocolate and peanut butter. Skeptical? I get it, but I loved it. If you want to play it safe, go with a sea salt dark chocolate or plain.

  • 1 banana

  • 1 can of beans, I used Everland Pinto
