Raw Mint Chocolate Brownie Bars
Raw, good-for-you, brownies… sign me up!
These tasty mint chocolate brownie bars are so good- and they’re easy to make because they don’t require the oven (which also means some of the nutrients are better retained due to no cooking).
In this recipe we used mint as a flavoring agent, but you could also use vanilla, or coffee beans- whatever your preference! I usually have these on hand in the freezer (yep, I like to store them in the freezer) to have as a quick and tasty mid-afternoon snack. In one version of the recipe I even put matcha in the mixture- so it gave me a little bump of energy (but not something I repeat regularly!).
Try this recipe out and enjoy!
