Who doesn’t love chocolate? I freaking love it! And, who said awesome chocolate treats couldn’t be part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle? This brownie is a real treat. Vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free! It’s super healthy and easy to prepare if you’ve got a good high-speed blender at home. I’ve made this recipe several times for my loved ones and it’s always a success!

These were good! I used a mixture of nuts (whatever I had in the pantry) and they turned out great. I did add a little bit of vanilla extract and agave because I wanted a bit more sweetness. Really like the texture of the chia seeds and coconut!
