Vegan Recipes: 10 Ingredients or Less

Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

2/19/2018

 
Vegan Chocolate Brownies
I am going to keep this post simple, short, and sweet. I am currently working on a vegan children's book, and it's taking up most of my free time. I had to pause and take a break and post a recipe though. When my daughter and I were at Whole Foods the other day trying the TTLA sandwich made famous by Tabitha Brown, we looked for vegan brownies, and I ended up deciding to make my own. I am so glad I did. These vegan brownies are the truth!
Pitted Dates
What holds the recipe together and gives the brownies that moist, chewy, gooeyness? Pitted dates, of course! Dates are a great source of vitamins and minerals, and they are low in calories and rich in fiber. I also use them in my peanut butter chocolate energy bites recipe.
