Coconut Vegan Brownies

Where does one start with a masterpiece like this,.. Maybe paired with a fine wine?  I digress, this brownie in amazing. Even before I went through my euphoric experience with food- brownies made my tummy sad. Really who likes a sad tummy- yeah No one. Do on my quest for chocolate goodness I searched pins and pulled together to make this brownie nom nom.

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 cup fresh peanut butter softened

1/2 cup 72% dark chocolate melted

1/2 cup apple sauce

1 1/2 cup sugar

1 cup coconut milk

1 tsp vanilla

 1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa

3/4 cup finely chopped 70% or higher dark chocolate 

1/2 cup toasted coconut for sprinkling

(( 1/4 cup cocoa + 1Tbsp sugar + a tsp of h2o for desired consistency)) 

So now you mix wet melted ingredients,   then the dry adding chocolate last. I put mine in muffin cups makes about 2 dozen. 350 for about 35 mins ;)  I use 100% organic ingredients. Enjoy!

BIG Changes coming soon!

As all good things- they get better! That is exactly what I am doing- getting better. I have been on a baking and growth journey ever since my first batch of burnt cookies years and years ago.  Since then I have failed miserably and have had may successes. Today and the future marks a new kind of personal victory. A step into sweet health & enchanting experiences. I am going organic- better yet GMO Free and nothing in between. What this means for you? No artificial anything. The same love that goes into every product I make but better ingredients which means its better for you too. What this means for me? A whole lot of experimenting which equals a whole lot of fun. Organic flours, grass fed butters, organic evaporated cane sugars, organic coconut oil- heck everything Organic.
