My favorite meal.

There’s no doubt about it, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. There’s just something so comforting about waking up to a nice warm muffin on a chilly day, a healthy smoothie during the summer heat, a homemade donut on the weekend, or a… personal pan brownie.

Yes, brownies are a personal breakfast favorite of mine.

I know, they’re not the normal breakfast food, but they are a pretty dang good one! And if you make them right, they can be a pretty healthy one, too.

A healthy start.

Let’s just take a look at all the goodness packed into this beauty, for instance…

Almond flouris a very good source of vitamin E as well as iron, manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium and more. And when baking, it has a wonderfully ‘normal’ texture and crumb.

Besides being a wonderful source of omega-3 fatty acids, flax meal slows the breakdown of starchy carbohydrates and decreases blood sugar spikes.

Cocoacontains phenethylamine, a substance that acts as a natural antidepressant. And that’s pretty important when you don’t like getting up in the morning, but I digress… Cocoa is full of flavonoids and hot cocoa has more antioxidants per cup than a serving of red wine or tea! So you should probably drink a cup of hot chocolate with this breakfast brownie. 😉

Applesauce is high in many beneficial phytochemicals, like catechin, chlorogenic acid, phloridzin and quercetin. All of which your body uses as antioxidants to prevent damage to your cells.

Honey is full of friendly bacteria, vitamins and minerals (like niacin, thiamine, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, vitamin C & B6, calcium, and iron), making it anti-fungal and probiotic powerhouse. In order to get as many benefits from your honey as possible, try to get a local, raw honey. Added bonus: local honey and/or bee pollen does wonders to help seasonal allergies!

And last, but definitely not least, coconut milk is rich in vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6, as well as many minerals including iron, selenium, magnesium, sodium, calcium, and phosphorous.
