Our Organic Mushroom Cacao Powder is so versatile. Unlike the mainstream mushroom coffee powders that are flooding the market and only good for replacing your morning caffeine kick, our Mushroom Cacao Powder can be used for that and so much more. Enjoy a mushroom hot chocolate as a warm, comforting beverage, or add it to smoothies, protein shakes, and baked goods. One of our favorite ways to incorporate mushrooms into our life is with these decadent Mushroom Cacao Brownie Cupcakes!
These small-batch brownies bake up rich, fudgy, and full of deep chocolate flavor, with the smoothness of our organic cacao powder and adaptogenic benefits of 7 functional mushrooms. Perfect for an afternoon treat or a wholesome dessert that feels indulgent AND has a plethora of powerhouse fungi!
