“COVENANT” BROWNIES
A few years before changing our diet over to whole foods I was inspired by a close friend who had discarded chocolate for over twenty years. Her reasoning was that if she was going to carry the message of the Restoration revealed by the prophet Joseph Smith then she needed to change her diet to reflect the message and eat that which glorified God. She then made a personal covenant to never lay a finger upon chocolate again. I was so touched by her choice in choosing to glorify Him through her eating and commitment that I, too, made the same covenant five years ago. Chocolate has always been a weakness of mine and giving it up was the perfect place to start our journey in learning how to eat as He has asked us to. Since that day I have never once been tempted to break this personal covenant I made.
IN SEARCH OF A NEW RECIPE
However, my daughter decided that we still needed to have brownies and so she spent a few months trying to find a brownie recipe that was healthy as well as delicious. Working with carob and its bitter taste was a hard adjustment. After many attempts, she finally created a wonderful version I can eat guilt-free!

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 ¾ cup sugar (organic sugarcane, or coconut sugar)
3 Tbsp Carob Powder
3 Tbsp Cocao Powder
½ tsp Sea Salt
1 cup Coconut oil or Olive oil
4 eggs (from the coop if possible)
2 tsp vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
