Chewy Vegan Brownies!
There’s nothing better than a classic brownie recipe. This recipe for Chewy Vegan Brownies is made healthier by using whole food ingredients. The brownies are soft, chewy, and slightly fluffy. They’re vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
I sweetened this recipe with dates, and used a base of oat flour and almond flour to get that soft and chewy brownie texture. I topped one batch with dark chocolate chunks and walnuts, and left the other batch plain. These brownies are great on their own, but would also be great with fresh berries, coconut whip cream, or a drizzle of peanut butter.
