I LOVE CHOCOLATE! I really love chocolate and brownies are one of my favorite desserts. My goal was to create vegan gluten-free chocolate brownies, leveraging healthy ingredients without compromising on taste. I have tried a lot of different versions and I have never been 100% satisfied until I created this recipe. I'm so so happy and excited to share this all with you! These brownies are soft, wet and well-balanced in sweetness. We generally don't love super sweet desserts, but you can increase the dose of sugar if you like ;).
