I love the holiday season! Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love indulging in all the seasonal flavored treats like gingerbread and eggnog. In this recipe, I’ve combined my two favorites: gingerbread and eggnog together to make brownies. I always used to go to Starbucks and get gingerbread lattes, so I’m definitely going to create a healthier version of that too. I’m almost done with my Christmas shopping as well. I can’t wait to get a tree, wrap all the gifts and put them under the tree. Christmas is always a fun and exciting time that makes the cold weather a little more bearable (although I wouldn’t mind a warm Christmas at all). These brownies are thick and delicious with a light holiday flavor. I hope you enjoy this great holiday, paleo-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free treat!
