Healthy Peppermint Brownie Mix
I’ve always loved brownies, but I couldn’t eat them for a long time. They were too rich with unhealthy ingredients that set off my allergies and made me sick. Now I’ve found a healthier peppermint brownie mix recipe that uses natural sweeteners and has perfect, peppermint taste. I use high quality peppermint essential oil that can be taken internally.
Scale
Ingredients
- 9 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 TB baking powder (non-aluminum)
- 2 TB salt (sea salt’s the best)
- 12 ½ cups sugar (I use evaporated cane juice crystals)
- 12 ounces unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (these make all the difference!)
- 5 tsp vanilla powder (or use 1 tsp extract when baking)
Instructions
- Sift first 4 ingredients into large bowl. Mix well.
- Add vanilla & chocolate chips. Mix well.
- Measure 2 cups into quart freezer bags (for 8×8 pan recipe, or 4 cups for 9×13 pan size recipe). Makes 11 bags.
- Label each bag (8×8 size) with the following: Add 2 eggs, ¼ cup melted butter & 4 drops peppermint essential oil or flavoring (may need more than 2 drops). Add extract if you didn’t use vanilla powder. Mix with beaters. Batter will be SUPER thick. Just spread it like frosting in your greased glass or stone pan (never aluminum) and it will rise up.
- Bake at 350 ° for 30-35 minutes. Test with a knife. For slightly fudgy brownies, take pan out 5-10 min early.
Notes
Makes 11 batches, 8×8 pan size. Each batch makes 9-12 brownies.
