Reasons to make these yummy brownies

  • These brownies are free from gluten, dairy and eggs. All ingredients used are really nourishing to your body so you can feel less guilty about a little indulgence.
  • These brownies are also rich, decadent and dense so you only need a little slice! The ingredients have been chosen with your health (and waistline) in mind:
  • Cacao powder: Rich in minerals, especially magnesium which is essential for the peristalsis action of the bowel, keeping your bowel movements regular. Also rich in fibre and essential fats but low in sugar.
  • Pumpkin: A great source of fibre to keep your bowels moving regularly, also a good source of vitamin A which is essential for the repair of the cell membranes in the intestines.
  • Maple syrup: A good alternative to processed sugars which have been stripped of their nutrition, maple syrup contains vitamins, especially of the B variety and it has a lower glycaemic Index than normal sugar, meaning that it causes less of a spike in blood sugar.
  • Coconut oil: Coconut oil is packed with essential mono-unsaturated fats which are burned as energy rather than being stored as fat. Coconut oil is also anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-microbial helping to fight any bad bacteria in the gut.
  • Cinnamon: Great for stabilising blood sugar levels.
