Fat-Burning Brownies

BY Monica Yates

These brownies are made with all the good stuff to burn fat, boost your metabolism, keep you feeling full and they even have a secret veggie in there!

I choose to bake with coconut flour where possible because it provides so many benefits to the body and is grain free. Grains can be very disruptive to many people’s digestive systems because of the modern way in which grains are milled. Grains are now short of the richest source of its nutrients that help our body to digest it. If you can cope with things like quinoa, buckwheat, black rice etc then go for it….but I alway recommend cutting out gluten ashcans cannot break down gluten and it causes permeability in the gut lining, leading to leaky gut. Additionally, gluten closely resembles the thyroid gland and when it breaches the protect barrier in the gut and enters the blood stream, the immune system thinks it needs to attack it. these antibodies therefore also attack your thyroid tissue. SOOOO, if you eat foods containing gluten, your immune system will attack your thyroid

Other benefits:

• high in fibre, protein and healthy fats
• it is sweet but contains no fructose
• has digestible carbohydrates and as a low GI
• aids in metabolism with the high levels of healthy saturated fats
• helps to maintain healthy digestive system because of its high nutrient density

Then you’ve also got the benefits of the raw cacao in there, plus zucchini, eggs, coconut oil, I mean the list of how GOOD these brownies are for you could go on and on!!!! but I won’t bore you with the details, just go cook them and thank me later
