There’s nothing quite as satisfying as sinking your teeth into a decadent, freshly baked, vegan brownie. With just 30 minutes and items easily found in your pantry, prepare yourself for a chocolate indulgence of a lifetime!
This incredibly simple, 30-minute small-batch brownie is the perfect way to sweeten any of your nights. I love adding raw cacao nibs since they’re basically nature’s dark chocolate but feel free to switch it up and add any toppings you love the most! I’ve made these before with unsweetened coconut flakes and honey-roasted pecans and they turned out absolutely phenomenal so get creative with it!
