Valentine’s Brownie With a Boost!

This Valentine’s (or anytime you need a chocolate fix) enjoy this brownie inspired by the never disappointing molten chocolate cake, upgraded by incorporating the healing benefits of functional mushrooms. 

Functional mushrooms are so very good for you for a myriad of reasons: they can help with cognition, gut health, feeling at peace, AND they can help you to not be an attractive host to viruses. Yes, you can get your mushrooms in tinctures or capsule form, but why not make a Shroomie Brownie? It’s delish. 
Make one just for you, or share it with someone you love!

Ingredients
8 oz (~1 cup) Bittersweet chocolate bits
1/3 cup Coconut Oil 
4 Eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
** You can substitute with almond flour or gluten free all purpose flour**
2 tbsp Powdered functional mushrooms 
            such as: Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, etc.
Optional Additions
** 1 pinch Salt, Cayenne, or Ground Coffee

Instructions

➳ Preheat oven to 425 F
➳ If you have a double boiler, melt bittersweet chocolate bits with coconut oil, while stirring 
     Note: (If using microwave, stir in 20 second intervals) 
➳ Allow chocolate to cool
➳ Crack eggs into cool, melted chocolate and electric hand mixer to combine
➳ Add flour of choice
➳ At this point, add powdered functional mushrooms to mix in with the flour
➳ Add an optional pinch of salt or cayenne or ground coffee at this juncture
➳ Take all added ingredients and mix till just combined and then dish into individual ramekins 
➳ Bake and check on ramekins in 5 minute increments  

Note: You want to be sure to catch this one just as it’s ready: Outsides should start to look like a baked good and the inside should still look plenty runny

Optional: Being a big fan of toasted coconut, we placed some unsweetened shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toasted till light brown while mixing above ingredients and then sprinkled on top of the finished product.
