Fudgy Coconut Oil Brownies

Welcome to fudgy brownies with both olive oil and coconut oil. Also, dark chocolate and nuts are part of this bar—heart healthy foods. This recipe is —perfect for February because February is American Heart Month and Valentine’s Day.
This is a classic recipe but with my own healing oils spin of semi-homemade (the brownie mix nutrition label reads no trans-fats). But note, these bars are good so if you want to stave off a “muffin top” as noted in Eat Pray Love, savor one not a whole batch like I did.

Ingredients:
¼ cup and 2 teaspoons cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup coconut oil
2 organic brown eggs, beaten
¼ cup water
1 package store-bought premium dark chocolate brownie mix (with no trans fats)
¼ cup whole-wheat flour (at high altitude)
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup almonds or walnuts, sliced
Butter for greasing dish
1 cup sweetened coconut, shredded

Method:
In a large bowl, combine oil, beaten eggs, and water. Add brownie mix and flour, stir till smooth. Fold in chips and nuts. Lightly grease (with extra virgin olive oil or butter) an 8-inch-by8-inch glass square dish, pour and spread brownie mixture. (Or pour batter into a cupcake paper lined muffin pan.) Bake at 325 degrees for about 40 minutes. Don’t over bake. While warm from the oven, sprinkle top with coconut. Makes about 12 brownies. Serve with coffee or tea. More amazing healing oils shared in dozens of new recipes. Recipe courtesy of Cal Orey.
