A Health Coach is a supportive mentor and wellness authority who works with clients to help them feel their best through food and lifestyle changes. Instead of prescribing one diet or way of exercising, Health Coaches tailor individualized wellness programs to meet their clients' needs.

Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. Health Coaches understand this and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person. Find out how health coaching stacks up against other health and wellness jobs.

Flourless Chocolate Chickpea Brownies


Prep Time

20 min.

Cooking Time

28 min.

Yields

16

Ingredients

1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed

1/4 cup extra-virgin organic coconut oil

2 large eggs

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp. baking powder, gluten-free

1 pinch sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

1/4 cup semisweet (or dark) chocolate chips*

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Line 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly coat with spray. Set aside.

3. Place chickpeas, oil, eggs, maple syrup, extract, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a blender (or food processor); cover. Blend until smooth.

4. Add chocolate chips; mix by hand until blended.

5. Evenly spread batter into prepared pan.

6. Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of brownies comes out clean.

7. Cut into squares.

Notes

1. You can substitute cannellini beans for garbanzo beans. They make a little smoother brownie. 

2. For dairy free, look for chocolate chips or chocolate that does not contain dairy. I like HU Chocolate Bars.
