Vegan, Gluten-Free Brownie Recipe with Dates, Figs and Coconut Three Ways
This is one of the healthiest brownie recipes that I’ve seen. The batter is made up of a number of antioxidant-rich superfoods including raw nuts, dates, cacao, and coconut oil. Add in some figs and a little applesauce for moisture and you just can’t go wrong. Coconut shows up in this recipe in three forms: coconut milk, coconut shreds, and coconut oil. Not only is this vegan and gluten free brownie recipe healthy and delicious, it only takes a few short minutes to pull together. Enjoy with a cup of tea or a glass of dairy-free milk.
