Healthy Brownie Bites – Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Low Sugar

How big is one brownie?

Feels like a trick question right?! The box mix usually says something like 16 servings, but it lasts approximately two days in our house…with 2 of us and that’s assuming the entire mix gets baked and not eaten straight off the spoon.

Anyone else?

TIME TO LOWER THE SUGAR

Recently, I challenged the ladies of the Clean and Lean group to count their sugar intake, rather than calories. Like myself, many of them don’t overeat, thank you running for calories burned, but had an idea we were taking in too many treats.

The numbers were eye opening for many!
Checkout 7 ways to reduce your sugar intake without going completely insane for tips to lower yours.

Which is why I decided it was time to make something on my own that was both LOW SUGAR, dairy free, gluten free and well let’s be honest still tasty enough to satisfy the sweet tooth.

To transition off some sugary items, I needed a treat at the ready. I decided to go with a mini bite this time around! I figured it if it works for balls, why not for brownies!

Perfect portion control. All right my chocolate loving, health seeking, dairy free friends!

Today I give you low sugar Healthy Brownie Bites! Makes roughly 16 depending on how much you pour in the muffin tin {and how much batter you eat}. INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup ground almond meal {or GF flour}
• 4 tbsp cacao powder
• 2 tablespoons Vega Choc-a-lot protein powder {or other plant based}
• Couple drops Vanilla or Mint stevia
• 1/4 tsp Baking soda
• 1/4 tsp Baking powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 egg (or egg replacer)
• ¼ cup Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray mini muffin tin.
2. Mix together almond meal, cacao, Vega, baking soda, baking powder and salt
3. In a separate bowl mix egg, coconut oil,  Almond Breeze Almond Milk, stevia
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix together. If too dry add a little more milk.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin.
6. Bake 8 minutes.
7. Enjoy your tasty little bites.

I adore that I can grab one and feel like I’ve had a treat or if I’m really taking a moment to relax have a couple with a little glass of almond milk and know I’m still keeping my sugar low. And yes I really do just drink this, the vanilla combats any concerns over unsweetened.
