What is better than desert for breakfast? These coffee brownies are sweet way to jump start and energized our mornings!
My mom is a HUGE coffee drinker. I so did not not get that trait from her lol However being the health junkie that I am I have always been concern with the amount of sugar and caffeine that that a cup of coffee can have.
My mother is in a nursing home is paralyzed from the waist down with multiple scleroses. Every time I visit her I bring her healthier alternatives to the things she likes. I don’t like that my mom drinks coffee but being the Capricorn that she is and the fact that she is still my mom it is not like I can tell her much what to do. So I let my mom sample Karuna’s Turmeric Coffee and she loved it! This is what inspired this recipe.
Karuna’s Turmeric Coffee Sustained Energy drink contains turmeric. Turmeric is a healing power tool! I helps with inflammation and joint pain which is something my mother deals with a lot. Unlike traditional coffee brownies you are also getting the health and healing benefits of this wonderful drink.
Vegan Curve Building Ingredients
I used spelt flour as the base of this recipe. Spelt flour is an ancient grain and is more digestible than traditional wheat. Spelt flour is carb friendly and even has 4 grams of plant based protein per serving.
To make your coffee brownies all you do is combined your dry ingredients with your wet ingredients and you are done! Be sure not to over mix tho!
I am sure you and your mom will love these coffee brownies as much as me and my mom did! Enjoy!

These brownies look delicious! Where would I find Karuna’s Turmeric Coffee Drink in Canada? Or is there another substitute I could use? Also, is the pan size (9×13) incorrect? I just can’t inagine there being enough batter for such a large pan given the recipe contains only 1 cup of flour. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ali! Right now Karuna drinks are only available in St. Louis, Missouri and Los Angeles area. As a substitute feel free to use any type of coffee of choice or even plant based milk if you like. And yes that was an oversight I meant to put 9×9 square pan thank you for noticing I will change that!
