Last month I spent a glorious four days near beautiful Mt. Shasta. It was a very beautiful and cleansing experience and I felt wonderfully at peace among the trees. It is amazing how much you can slow down in that environment. I even felt a difference in my heart rate! I had time to draw, take photos, and even dip in a mineral spring. But the main reason I was there...was to cook! I cooked delicious wholesome food for seven lovely ladies. But being wholesome doesn't mean skipping dessert.
If you eat gluten free, or vegan, or are just a chocoholic, this is the only healthy brownie recipe you ever need. It comes from, you guessed it, my favorite blog Hummusapien (link to recipe)!
I may not post many desserts on here, but I most definitely have a sweet tooth, and inherited 100% of my father's chocoholic genes. So this recipe for rich fudgey brownies that somehow have no flour or added oil and are vegan...words can't do it justice. These have it all. The peanut butter gives it that thick fudgey texture and maple syrup gives it just enough sweetness. And you can't even taste the zucchini! So no getting mad at me for sneaking veggies into your desserts.
Ingredients: peanut butter (natural), maple syrup, shredded zucchini, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, baking soda, chocolate chips, splash of vanilla
In summary, these are about as good as it gets - I'm drooling just writing about them. So make a quick market stop today or tomorrow and whip these babies up! You won't regret it! And while you're at it, bring some over for me!
In regards to her advice about cooling them - they are really gooey straight out of the oven (yum!) but firm up more like brownies once cooled....So eat some now and save some for later to try both ways! Compromise is great :)
I'm a bit behind on my posts but I look forward to sharing more recipes with you from my trip to Shasta.
Here's a picture of a baby horse in a meadow that I took during my trip.
