Better Butter Coffee Brownies (with Coffee Blocks)

Better Butter Coffee Brownies (with Coffee Blocks)

Coffee Blocks Logo #coffeeblocksIf you haven’t hopped aboard the butter coffee train yet, Coffee Blocks makes it easy for you to try. Buy yours HERE! Instead of having to break out your blender, and coffee, and coconut oil, and the butter each morning, Coffee Blocks has created a packet for the busy butter coffee lover. And, I just couldn’t help myself. I had to add a packet to brownies ~ these BETTER BUTTER COFFEE BROWNIES! I love adding expresso powder to a lot of chocolate dishes, so why not? It adds an amazing dimension of flavor. I also can’t wait to cowgirl up my next bowl of chili by adding a packet as well!

“Putting healthy fats in your cup of joe will turn it into super brain fuel. It’ll give you a boost of energy, make you laser focused, and can even help you feel full until lunch. Plus, you won’t feel the mid-morning “crash” you’d get from eating a carb-filled breakfast. When you first wake up, your body has been in fat burning mode all night. Keep the fat burning going with a morning dose of healthy fats… and coffee!” To read more, download this FREE ebook, The Thinnest Book on Fat, brought to you by the creator and founder of Coffee Blocks!
