    Ooey Gooey double  chocolate  brownie goodness for breakfast! and they are healthy!

    I guess I’m on a dessert for breakfast kick. I just recently posted this Healthy Breakfast Banana Split recipe and it went bananas (see how I did that!) on Pinterest !  so I guess I’m not alone in loving something a little dessertish (is that a word?)  and clean eating for breakfast.

    It’s just so decadent waking up to foods that are usually reserved for dessert.  The only difference is theseclean eatingg breakfast items actually pack some nutritional value. In the case of the banana split it’s bananas, berries, and cottage cheese (or yogurt) . In the case of these breakfast brownies it’s healthy oats, chia seeds, and cocoa powder, so you don’t even need to feel guilty about having dessert for breakfast! How awesome is that!

    Bonus...these Breakfast Brownies are really easy to make! Healthy rolled oats provide the base of this recipe. I rough chopped them so they would be a slightly finer texture (you can also pop them in a blender and get them nice and smooth for a more traditional brownie texture, or leave them whole and have a heartier texture).

    Healthy chia seeds give these brownies an extra nutritional punch. Chia's are small but mighty! they are packed with fiber, Omega 3's, and protein. (fiber and protein helps you feel full longer ).

    You can top them with anything you like. I opted for toasted walnuts, coconut and more chocolate chips. You can even give them a drizzle of chocolate if you wish (add a few chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and cook for about 30 sec., stir and drizzle).  The possibilities are endless (peanut butter chips, almonds, pecans, dried berries (like goji) . What will you top yours with?

        This really is a decadent, deliciously looking breakfast, I think my children would think I am somehow ill if I'd put this in front of them for breakfast. They would not mind of course, but would probably ask several times if they are really allowed this for breakfast before actually starting eating. 🙂 My best friend would love me if I'd asked her over for breakfast and serve her these brownies.
