While the Holistic Gut Reset is helping me consume and crave much less sugary, sweet things, my mind still wants it…daily.
A fellow chocolate-sweet loving friend shared her no sugar added brownie bites recipe with me, so I went home eager to try it. Who doesn’t like brownies, right?
As soon as I looked at the shared recipe, I knew I couldn’t follow it completely. I didn’t have some of the ingredients, plus my usual recipe rebel self emerged immediately.
But I still wanted to make something brownie-like, so I gathered similar enough ingredients and came up with this one that pretty much worked the first time around.
It’s just sweet enough, very chocolatey, and so very satisfying to this sweet-tooth!
