My favorite uses of doTerra essential oils in edibles are: 

• Citrus oils (Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Slim & Sassy (not specifically citrus), Wild Orange) in my sparkling water
• Cardamom and cinnamon in coffee-- neutralizes acidity & adds wonderful flavor!
• Ginger (or others-- get creative!) in my smoothies
• Lavender in homemade chocolates
• Lemon in my kale chips and hummus
• Lime for my pico de gallo and guacamole
• OnGuard infused into my sliced apples (also Wild Orange)
• Oregano anytime I don't have the dried herb-- **only use a toothpick amount!!!!  Just one drop creates an overdose of oregano flavor--not good.**
• Peppermint in my brownies..... peppermint black bean brownies! Also quickly rubbed on roof of mouth as a breath mint.

Black Bean Peppermint Brownies

15oz can black beans (drained & rinsed)
2 large eggs (or flax-eggs)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
4 drops peppermint essential oil
3/4 cup chocolate chips. 

Preheat oven to 350°. Blend all ingredients (except choc chips) until smooth. Pour batter into greased 8x8in pan and stir in 1/2 cup choc chips. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 choc chips on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool (and store) in fridge, then cut into pieces.  

**You might want to try using parchment paper to line the pan before greasing it with coconut oil to avoid sticking/crumbling brownies when cutting them out of the pan.

Wild Orange Yogurt Fruit Dip 

1 cup Greek yogurt**
1 Tbsp raw honey
2-3 drops Wild Orange essential oil

Mix ingredients together. Adjust honey and EO as desired. Serve with fresh fruit. Enjoy!​

**I served an adjusted vegan version with Kite Hill's almond milk yogurt, raw blue agave and Wild Orange EO. I personally like the original better but it's not vegan.
