EASY CHOCOLATE PALEO BLENDER BROWNIES RECIPE
A little while ago, I finally invested in a blender and it has completely transformed my cooking. I mean, I’m making paleo blender brownies now! While it might seem like a cheat to have something so easy and convenient to use… isn’t eating healthy all about finding the easiest way to do things?
From coffee banana smoothies, to protein-packed hummus, to chili paste, I’ve been going blender crazy with my new toy. The real revelation came though when I realized that I could make muffins with this thing.
I’d long been put off baking because of the mess it creates and, well, it all just seems so unhealthy. Not with this paleo-friendly blender brownies recipe that I stumbled upon.
While I’m not paleo in the strictest sense, I do adhere to a lot of the diet’s main principles. I’m an avid cyclist, and since cutting down on a great number of non-paleo foods (mashed potato, I’m looking at you), I’ve noticed my endurance and fitness levels go through the roof, as well as my mood in general.
Unfortunately, the amount I cycle makes me prone to hypoglycemia. Obviously for someone who spends a lot of time out on the road, this is dangerous, so I still make (brown) pasta a large part of my diet, but everything else I’ve managed to find ample substitutes for.
This is why this blender brownies recipe is such a life saver. Out goes all the sugar and flour associated with baked treats, and instead I use a healthy amount of banana, honey and even an egg to give this the volume, sweetness and moisture that it needs.
These blender brownies are gluten-free, low-carb and dairy-free and still moist and DELICIOUS! The perfect snack!
I also throw in a spoon of plain protein powder, because why not?
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do (I think I’m on my third batch of the week), and if you have any comments be sure to let me know!
This recipe makes 6 generously sized muffins, but if you have small muffin cases then you might be able to get 14 or so. The more the better, right?

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CACAO POWDER
The much touted nutritional benefits or raw cacao range from reducing cataracts to improving heart function to alleviating stress.
The theobromine naturally found in raw cacao is a mild, non-addictive stimulant that some believe can treat depression. It may cause the brain to produce more of a neurotransmitter called anandamide which would account for the euphoric sensation some feel when indulging in chocolate. (Source: About)
