Healthy Dessert Option: Brownies

We hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and did what made YOU happy. Hopefully you were able to make time for yourself to squeeze in a great workout, a therapeutic run, or maybe a walk with your pooch... no matter what we hope you got up and got out there! 

A new week is about to begin but that doesn't mean you have to get the "Monday Blues", we have been working on a fun, new recipe; And it's all about DESSERT... YUM.  Brownies are definitely an indulgent dessert and while we aren't saying you should eat the whole pan of these, we are saying we tweaked them to make them just as satisfying but a little more slim. 


Brownies

4 ounces, unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar
4 ounces plain greek yogurt
2/8 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup shredded coconut, top brownies with

1. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a microwaveable safe bowl, put unsweetened chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.  Microwave in 30 second increments until chocolate is melted.

3. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and brown sugar.  Then whisk in yogurt, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.  Whisk in melted chocolate.  Stir in flour until just combined.
