We love brownies in our house, and there aren’t too many ways to go wrong when making them. Brownies have to be the number one recipe on the internet next to chocolate chip cookies, but the ingredients are what is truly going to make these stand out from the others.
About 4 years ago, we went sugar free and dropped all processed foods from our diet one at a time. So desserts like cookies, brownies and pies were among the first items to be cut from our routine. It was sad, but once you learn the truth about what is truly in our regular everyday food items like white sugar and white flour, it’s hard to ever look at food the same.
Honestly it was my first pregnancy that made me make that initial decision. I was diagnosed with something at the end of that pregnancy that could have been fatal to the small baby growing inside me due to the ingredients in the food I was eating, and I would have been considered a very healthy eater. I had to make some big changes and fast in order to spare his life.

The first thing I was told was no more refined sugar, refined flour or processed foods. It sounded crazy at first, and it was very, very hard to do, but it definitely nailed one thing down very clearly… what we eat is critically important to our health. But suffice to say, here we are over 5 years later, and no processed foods is a no-brainer. I don’t miss it in the least, because I have discovered some amazing recipes like the one I’m sharing with you today. Let’s get to it!
Add all of your wet ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
Line your baking dish with parchment paper to make clean up a snap later.
Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, mix, and pour into your dish, spreading evenly.
Top with 1/4 cup chocolate chips. These are the kind of chocolate chips we like.
Pop them into the oven to bake for 45 minutes and let cool afterwards.
Pull your brownies out by the parchment paper and cut on the counter.
Enjoy!
