Thieves Vitality Recipes

resource preview

If there were only one oil we could have in our arsenal, it would probably be Thieves. This blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils smells like a warm cup of chai and is a powerhouse when it comes to our health and our homes! We love this oil blend for so many recipes, DIYs, and health habits.

Healthier Cinnamon Spice Brownies

  • 1 cup oats
  • ⅓ cup cacao powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 drops Thieves Vitality
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips for mixing and topping
  1. Place eggs on the counter and allow them to reach room temperature. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. If you are having trouble getting the paper to stick in place, lightly grease the pan and set the parchment on top.
  3. In a food processor or blender, add oats, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend until the oats turn into a fine flour-like texture.
  4. In a separate dish, melt coconut oil in the microwave or on the stove. Allow to cool but not harden.
  5. Add room-temperature eggs, honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and Peppermint Vitality to the food processor and process until everything is well combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the edges in between pulsing, if needed. You will be left with a thick batter.
  6. Once all of the ingredients are fully incorporated, add ¼ cup chocolate chips or more if you enjoy a stronger chocolate flavor. Stir into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared dish, then use the spatula to smooth the batter evenly into the pan. Top with extra chocolate chips.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the brownies look cooked through and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
  9. Let the brownies cool, then cut and serve.

  • Remove from the heat and when slightly cooled add 2 drops of Thieves Vitality (the flavor is bold, so start with 2 drops and add more if you want!) Place the cocoa mixture and the coffee in a Vitamix or other high-powered blender (or use a handheld frother), and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds until frothy.
