These are brownies to die for!
Alexx Stuart from Low Tox Life posted her Mum’s brownie recipe recently, which I enthusiastically whipped up as I love chocolate brownie. Feeling creative, I gave this awesome recipe a boost adding medicinal mushrooms and tonics. I also added some cherries to make it even more delish.
Try stopping at one! 😋
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of melted butter cooled until it is warm, not hot. For dairy free option: 1/4 macadamia nut or olive oil and 1/4 cup of the thick creamy top from a can of coconut cream

- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp of vanilla bean powder or paste
- 2 tbsp of tapioca flour/arrowroot flour or cornflour
