Nutrient dense and satisfies that sweet tooth but has no refined sugars, made with ancient grains, sourdough, and dye free candy canes! I made these a few times within the past week and think I have perfected the recipe and thought I would share. I brought them to a Yule gathering yesterday and they were a huge hit! 

Here is the recipe:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Combine all ingredients in a bowl: 

-1/2 cup of Einkorn Flour 

- 1/2 cup of Caco powder 

-1/2 teaspoon of salt 

- 1 cup of maple syrup 

-1 1/4 cup of sourdough starter 

-1 tbs of peppermint 

- 3 large eggs 

Ingredients for later:

-Caco chocolate chips

Mix well and grease a 9 x 13 baking vessel and transfer mixture to pan and bake for 30 minutes. 

While brownies are in the oven mash (or have the little one(s) do it) dye-free candy canes (I used the yum earth organic ones) and set aside.

Once brownies are done, remove from oven and immediately put about (I never measure so this is guess) 1 cup of caco chips on brownies and let sit for about 5-10 minutes so the chips can get soft. After they have sat, spread softened/melted chips over brownies to make the fudge layer and then sprinkle smashed up candy canes on top and place in freezer for about an hour. The freezer step is optional, but is what brings the brownies to a whole new level. It provides a depth of flavor and texture that separates them from your run of the mill brownies.

Enjoy! 🎄
