Chocolate Dream Chaga Brownies

It seems as if Chaga was meant to be paired with chocolate. Chaga naturally has that earthy, subtle flavor that compliments the natural bitterness of cocoa powder so well.

In this recipe, Liz Carlile of motherhoodunstressed, takes your traditional brownie recipe and jazzes it up by making it functional mushroom brownies that are paleo and auto-immune friendly. 

She uses almond flour in place of traditional all-purpose flour and emphasizes pumpkin puree to boost the brownie's juiciness and amp up its beta-carotene and fiber content.

Of course, she also adds some grounding functional mushrooms, like Chaga extract, to boost this recipe's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential and maximize the power of adaptogenic mushrooms.

We hope you dig this Chaga-infused brownie deliciousness! Be sure to tag her and us if you make this recipe!
