Lavender Hazelnut Brownies and Fit Body Bakery Giveaway

There is something about a delicious freshly baked brownie, with a soft, creamy inside and a hint of crunch on the outside that is simply irresistible…

And if you’re like me, one bite is just never enough.

That’s why I was really excited to try out the Burnin Brownie mix from Fit Body Bakery… Because as much as I love indulging in a sweet treat every now and then, I am even happier when I can do so without compromising my healthy habits 🙂

As you may recall from my Spiced Pumpkin Motivator Muffins last week, I recently had the opportunity to sample a couple of mixes from Fit Body Bakery.

7 Things I Love about Fit Body Bakery Mixes

  • They are gluten free which is a huge plus for me since I have been eating a gluten free diet for 5 years now.
  • They are high in protein which makes for balanced treats from a nutritional point of view.
  • The list of ingredients is short and easy to understand — no hidden ingredients I wouldn’t be happy about
  • They are easy to customize to turn into whatever scrumptious creation you are inspired to make
  • They bake in less than 20 minutes and with little prep clean up is a cinch which make me a really happy mom!
  • The box has a fun workout printed on the side. How’s that for a real commitment to a healthy and fit lifestyle?
  • They were created by a fellow mom determined to share her passion for healthy living in an easy fun and tasty way 🙂

The Burnin Brownie recipe calls for four simple ingredients — 1 egg, 1 cup of water or almond milk, 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce and a box of Burnin Brownie mix.  I decided to get a little adventurous and turn these brownies into hazelnut and lavender brownie bites!

To do that I replaced the half a cup of applesauce with one and half cups of homemade hazelnut butter and aded some dried lavender blossoms, hazelnut pieces and a few chunks of dark chocolate.  I then chose to dip my brownie bites into some melted dark chocolate for an even more decadent treat!

Here’s what you’ll need for your Lavender Hazelnut Brownies:

  • 1 box Fit Body Bakery Burnin’ Brownie mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 1/2 cup hazelnut butter
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons dried lavender flowers — lavender has a powerful taste so don’t overdo it with these. If you don’t have dried lavender blossoms on hand you can add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil. If you’re not sure about the lavender, skip this ingredient and enjoy your brownies with the hazelnuts.
  • 8 ounces semi sweet or dark chocolate
  • mini muffin or regular muffin pan or 8×11 glass baking pan
