Honestly, anyone who says they don’t like brownies is lying
Sometimes you just need a slightly naughty batch of brownies… not for anyone or anything in particular, but honestly just for yourself – ya know? especially during a strange and challenging time like this… it’s totally okay to eat the entire batch (but PLEASE brush, floss, rinse your mouth with lots of water too) 😇
If you are ever in need of a brownie for your soul then try this! It’s gluten-free and vegan so hopefully most of you guys can enjoy it! If peanut butter isn’t your thing then just substitute it for another butter that you’re vibing.
Here is the recipe:
