    Black ‘n Blue Heart Brownies
    vegan

    1 box brownie mix (or a classic ‘from scratch’ brownie recipe you may like.)
    1/3 canola oil
    1/4 cup blueberry yogurt
    1 cup fresh blackberries
    1 cup fresh blueberries
    1/4 cup applesauce
    1/4 cup water
    2 shots of brandy (optional)
    1/4 cup agave syrup
    optional-chocolate chips, handful
    Powdered sugar and raw sugar for topping

    Prepare:
    In a small bowl mash half of the portions of fresh berries, add brandy and agave syrup. Set aside.
    Mix brownie mix with canola oil, blueberry yogurt, applesauce (or eggs), water.
    Stir by hand well.
    Fold in berry mixture.
    Fold in chocolate chips.
    Fold in a few fresh berries, but leave a few for a top layer.

    Pour mix into greased brownie tin.
    Add a layer of fresh berries-push deep into the batter.
    Sprinkle a thin layer of raw or white sugar on top before baking.

    Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
    Allow to cool for at least an hour.
    Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
    Use heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut brownies.

      Great Recipe. If you want to boost the antioxidant level by 10X make your own brownie mix using: 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup oat flour, 3 tablespoons of Raw Organic Cacao Powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
      1 teaspoon baking powder,
      1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
      The Raw Cacao Powder has 10x the antionidants that you can find in any brownie mix.
