Gluten Free Healthier Dark Chocolate Brownies (Vegan Option)

Jump to recipe

One thing lately that I have missed since I have been eating healthier… is BROWNIES! So… this weekend I set out to make some that hole together and taste delicious! Finally after 3 attempts, I figured it out! Aren’t you glad us food bloggers do all the testing for you! But eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring! I know I say that a lot, but eating healthy is about balance and finding out what works for you and your body. For me… I know I can’t eat a ton of sugar and gluten, because I am bothered by both in large quantities. This is why for Easter, I really wanted to make something healthy that the whole family could enjoy for dessert! This led me to create these delicious brownies! I hope you get to enjoy them, too!

When you have a sweet tooth, the last thing you want is a recipe with a ton of ingredients or something that takes a lot of time. This recipe is minimal ingredients and fast to make! It is great if you need a last minute recipe for a holiday or family function! My favorite kind of recipe!
