Indulge in the rich and delectable flavors of these Vegan SunButter Brownies, a perfect treat for those following a vegan lifestyle or anyone seeking a healthier twist on a classic dessert. These brownies use ground flaxseed mixed with coffee to create ‘flax eggs,’ providing a unique binding ingredient that adds both texture and depth. The use of SunButter and coconut oil brings a creamy, nutty flavor, while pure maple syrup offers natural sweetness. Blended with gluten-free oat flour and rich cocoa powder, and studded with vegan dark chocolate and mini chocolate chips, these brownies are both indulgent and satisfying.
