Peppermint Vitality Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- ⅓ cup cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 drops Peppermint Vitality
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips for mixing and topping
Instructions
- Place eggs on the counter and allow them to reach room temperature. Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. If you are having troubles getting the paper to stick in place, lightly grease the pan and set the parchment on top.
- In a food processor or blender, add oats, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend until the oats turn into a fine flour-like texture.
- In a separate dish, melt coconut oil in the microwave or on the stove. Allow to cool but not harden.
- Add room-temperature eggs, honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and Peppermint Vitality to the food processor and process until everything is well combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the edges in between pulsing, if needed. You will be left with a thick batter.
- Once all of the ingredients are fully incorporated, add ¼ cup chocolate chips or more if you enjoy a stronger chocolate flavor. Stir into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish, then use the spatula to smooth the batter evenly into the pan. Top with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the brownies look cooked through and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
- Let the brownies cool, then cut and serve.
YL tip: Experiment with other Vitality oils. Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg, or Orange would all be tasty flavor options!
