I’ve been meaning to recreate my version of the classic brownie for so long now, and I’ve finally done it!
This is a super simple recipe with just a few easy to access ingredients; NO sweet potato, NO black beans, NO bananas and NO tofu… because sometimes you just need a classic vegan brownie.
These no-fuss brownies are everything you want in a brownie: moist, fudgey and so decadent. You wouldn’t believe they’re egg free! They’re make a delicious dessert warmed up with a dollop of vegan cream or coconut yoghurt.
If you make this recipe, please make sure to comment below or tag me in your recreations over on Instagram using @ginabnutrition or #ginabnutrition – I absolutely love to see them!
