GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Gluten-Free Vegan Dark Chocolate Brownies image

Dress these brownies up with icing to make a delicious dessert or a snack on-the-go. Either way, they are delicious. I made these with my cherry-coconut whipped cream and they were awesome! Gluten free often makes desserts dry and brittle but this version is a lot more moist than the standard gluten-free brownie recipe. Bananas are the key. Find some browning or rotting bananas, it will bring a chewy, moistness without the banana aftertaste.

VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Vegan Dark Chocolate Brownies image

Decadent tasting, dark chocolate, with tons of protein, added fruits and veggies and no added oil. Very flexible recipe. I usually make this with eggs since I'm not vegan just dairy free at this point but have made them successfully with chia and/or flax seed eggs. Use whatever veggies and fruit you have on hand-I've used apples, pears, bananas (adds a bit of a banana taste), spinach, etc. Add sugar and cocoa powder to your taste preferences. As described they are semi-sweet and fairly dark chocolate. My non-vegan version is also on this site: http://www.food.com/recipe/healthy-dark-chocolate-brownies-479905
