These are amazingly chewy great tasting brownies just by themselves, but I like these because you can do so much with them!

The Loaded More “Hearty” Version

You can really add anything you want to these…I have added all of this…Come up with whatever combination you want! 🙂

1 cup Organic Chocolate chips
1 Cup Coconut shredded
1 Cup chopped pecans
1 Cup chopped Sunflower seeds
1 Cup chopped Pumpkin seeds
1 Cup chopped Almonds Chopped
1 Cup chopped Walnuts Chopped etc.
I have also added 1 tbs. of Cinnamon 🙂

Also for those of you who cannot have sugar, try using 2 cups Date Puree to sweeten, only add it in at the end instead of the Sugar.

We have never tried Stevia yet, but I am sure it may work. No time like the present to experiment!. 🙂

I have added 1 cup of oats and 1 cup of dried fruit, for more of a breakfast brownie treat. 🙂

Note: if you add dried fruit, you have to cut the sugar in half, otherwise it will be too sweet.

You can also replace the cocoa powder with carob powder. I recommend asking your company or those you will be serving if they like carob before doing this option. Some people really do not care for it. 🙂
