Vegan Brownies with Melted Chocolate!
Your classic brownies topped with gently melted hazelnut chocolate. These Vegan Brownies with Melted Chocolate are rich and decadent. They feature a traditional vegan brownie base topped with chocolate squares that melt and create a rich ganache-like topping. I used hazelnut cherry chocolate, but you could use any chocolate you like for the topping.
This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. Made with natural ingredients like almond flour, coconut oil, and maple syrup.

Can I make these with a sugar substitute like monk fruit or stevia?
livesimplyhealthy says
Yes you can! If your sugar substitute is powdered, you may just have to add a bit more liquid (water) to compensate. Let me know how it turns out!

These were so good, the chocolate on top is a great touch
