Dr. Beth's Flax Brownies
- 1/4 lb organic butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 4 eggs (room temp is best)
- 1/2 cup cocoa plus two heaping tablespoons
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups flax seed meal
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup half and half
- 1/3 cup water
- Stevia to taste - couple of squirts should do it.
- Options: chocolate chips, walnuts or almonds, etc.
Preparation: Preheat oven to 350° F and grease a 9x13 pan.
1) Cream the butter until fluffy.
2) Add the honey to the butter and cream them together until fully combined (aim for a fluffy texture).
3) Add the vanilla and beat the eggs into the mixture, one at a time.
4) Add sea salt and cocoa, beat well.
5) Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well to combine.
6) Pour into a pan and bake for 35 minutes until top springs back.
(You can also test if they're ready by sticking a toothpick in the brownies. If it comes out clean, or almost-so, they're done.)
