So many recipes are always being posted on all forms of social media. I am always tempted to try the recipes based on whole, nutrient dense foods. When I saw this brownie recipe, I knew it was a must! We then of course adapted it to suit our pantry needs and personal preferences. The result…the best brownies ever. This may have been one of our most popular desserts at Shanti Retreat. The guests were dying for the recipe….and for more brownies! Be careful though, they are so good you may possibly eat 6…at one sitting…Enjoy.
