Recipe: Paleo MeeNut Butter Pumpkin Spice Brownies
Ingredients:
1/4 cup cacao powder
2 scoops unflavored collagen peptides (I used Vital Proteins marine collagen)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup cacao nibs
1/2 cup Pumpkin Spice MeeNut Butter
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
4 tbsp raw honey
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F
2. Mix all the dry ingredients (first three ingredients) in a bowl and set aside. Set the cacao nibs aside for later.
3. Mix all the wet ingredients (the rest of the ingredients) in another bowl.
4. Carefully add in the dry ingredients into the wet and mix thoroughly.
5. Add the cacao nibs to your batter.
6. Grease a 9x9 pan and pour your batter into the pan. I used Primal Kitchen avocado oil.
7. Bake at 350 F for 30-40 min or until toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool completely and serve with my paleo coconut cream frosting!
Paleo Coconut Cream Frosting:
1. Chill a can of full fat coconut cream overnight. The cream will rise to the top and harden.
2. Scoop out 1 cup of the cream only and mix with 1 tbsp raw honey.
3. Keep chilled and enjoy on paleo brownies or cupcakes!
