Comments

If you think the term “healthy dessert” is an oxymoron, these Purely Fruit Sweetened Brownies just might change your mind. Better yet? They’re made with only six real food ingredients, and you can whip them up in no time at all. These fudgey brownies are packed with intense chocolatey flavor.

The main ingredient in these flourless gluten-free brownies is antioxidant rich dark (as in 100%, no sugar added!) chocolate. Dark chocolate contains small amounts of tannins, an antioxidant, to make it a little less naughty than regular chocolate.

This recipe is rounded out with eggs (high in protein) and coconut oil (rich in neuro-protective fats), along with dates, a bit of baking soda, and a good dose of vanilla –one of my favorite ingredients, vanilla makes everything taste better.
