In 2010, using what I had in my pantry, I created this quick-to-mix pan of dark chocolate breakfast brownies. It quickly became, and remains, a fan favorite. These fuss-free brownies have supported the Protective Diet Community through sugar detox and The Microbiome Population Project. Since the development of this recipe It has also been confirmed that cacao is neuro and cardio-protective and multiplies our healthy resident microbes. And, as if that wasn’t enough, the aromatherapy of chocolate baking reduces ghrelin (hunger hormone) production causing a satiation response shown to reduce appetite. Whip up a batch and read more about the exciting benefits of protective cacao included at the bottom of this slimmed- down, anti-aging recipe.
