fit foodie le is headed to the Blog Elevated conference this month!!!!! i learned about this conference a few months ago and, well, everything about it grabbed my attention. learning more about one of my favorite things to do in one of my favorite places in Houston? um i HAVE to be there. i must. and by the grace of God, I AM IN THAT THANG, free of charge. i am just one big ol' sponge ready to soak up ALL kinds of blogging knowledge. crazy excited to say the least... this is like an overnight adult field trip. if you're going, well, i'll be seeing you there then won't i :)! i'm ready to take Fit Foodie Le to the next level baby.

everything you need to know about attending this fan-flippin-tastic conference is right HEA.

oh you like brownies? me three. try theeeeeeese:

peanut butta banana fudgy brownies

the stuff:

2 medium bananas
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup almond meal
1 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
2 tbsp Stevia for Baking blend
2 tbsp agave nectar
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 tbsp PB2 (in powder form)

do this:

combine everything in your food processor and blend until smooth. this is optional, but you can fold in 1/4 a cup (or however many you like really) mini chocolate chips, or mix up some PB2 slightly gooey-er than usual (using unsweetened vanilla almond milk) and swirl it into the top of your brownie batter before baking. see below:

your call though, as always. 350 degrees for 40 minutes in your baking pan that has been coated with no-stick cooking spray, and all is right with the world. under your roof anyway.

oooooh yeah. the topping on this one is mashed banana and chocolate PB2 swirled together and dotted with mini chocolate chips.

makes 12! for 1(excluding toppings):
