Searching the cupboards brings to my attention cocoa, agave, eggs, and oat flour. Looks like the Universe is suggesting that I make brownies for breakfast ... pure ingredients & an organic sweetener will satisfy both needs in our house.
A little more research leads to the discovery that not a single one of my cookbooks contains a recipe for vegetarian or organic brownies.
Oh well ... Mother Nature improvises all of the time ... I may as well follow suit =)
Organic Ingredients - using certified organic ingredients will ensure a healthy eating experience without all the guilt attached to eating brownies for breakfast <3
1/2 c. organic oat or rice flour, Bob's Red Mill is an excellent brand
1/2 c. organic cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt, fine grind
boiling water
1/2 c. organic coconut oil, melted
2/3 c. blue agave nectar, light or dark ... it doesn't matter
2 large organic, range free eggs
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
1 c. coarsely chopped walnuts [optional]
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Grease 9" square glass baking pan. Glass not only conducts heat better, but it's healthier. Metal or teflon pans release toxins into the food ... making them not so good for you.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
3. Pour boiling water into a separate bowl and set the jar of coconut oil in the boiling water to melt the oil. Once melted, measure oil and add to dry ingredients.
4. Add agave nectar, vanilla, and eggs. Stir until well blended. Stir in nuts, if using.
5. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
6. Bake in pre-heated oven until toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean ... about 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
7. Cut into squares or simply grab a fork and enjoy.
