The perfect season for a fudgy, healthy treat. Holistic health and wellness coach, April Godfrey, shares her Vegan Fudge Brownies.
Ingredients:
15 Medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup flax milk, almond milk, or coconut milk
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup chocolate plant-based protein powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
Toppings:
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
~ Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
~In a food processor, add pitted Medjool dates, peanut butter and flax milk (or alternate milk of your choice) blend very very well, stopping to scrape down the sides.
~ Add the protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla, sea salt, and baking powder,
Blend again until very well blended, then add chocolate chips and walnut and pulse quickly, just to blend.
~Pour mixture into the prepared pan, it will be thick so use a scraping spatula to scrape down the sides and spread throughout the pan.
~ You may want to top with extra chocolate chips and walnuts… I always do!
~ Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for fineness.
~ Cool in a pan and then on a cooling rack.
~ Cut into desired sized pieces.
~ Store in an air-tight container in the fridge, or freezer.
