Okay friends. These brownies are about to change yo’ life!!!
They are the perfect treat to bring to all your Holiday parties coming up. And when people ask “HOW are these so good?!” you say….”Essential oils, duh! Oils make everything better.”
But seriously. I am pretty good at controlling myself when it comes to my sweet tooth. BUT THESE. I can only bake them when I know people are coming over or I am bringing them to a friend because I will eat the whole pan if I am left to myself. They call my name, whisper softly…
Peppermint Essential Oil is great for digestion! So these babies won’t have you feeling “ick” when you’re done.
Peppermint Brownies
Ingredients
-½ cup melted coconut oil
-1 cup sugar
-2 eggs
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-½ cup all purpose flour (I use Bobs Red Mill all purpose to make these gluten free!)
-¼ tsp salt
-¼ tsp baking powder
-3-4 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
-Sprinkle with powdered sugar when fresh out of oven
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
Line a 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper
Mix together melted coconut oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract in a bowl.
In a separate bowl mix together unsweetened cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking soda.
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients. Mix together until just blended. Don’t overmix—-we don’t want hard brownies!
Add 3-4 drops Peppermint Essential Oil.
Pour into prepared baking dish. Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center.
When done baking, place baking pan on a cooling rack, sprinkle with powdered sugar and let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
