Superfood Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies is healthy and chewy with a subtle flavor of peanut butter and chocolate. It’s made of all the possible healthy ingredients. These delectable brownies are vegan and gluten free.
I must confess that I am not a baker but once in a while I get this motivation from somewhere to try my hands at baking. And…if I bake.. I want to bake healthyish…. plus nutritious. It’s tough and needs tons pf practice. Therefore it took me a while to come up with this Superfood Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies. These brownies are absolutely guilt free. Infact it’s absolutely appropriate to say that it’s a dessert with balanced nutrition. Therefore, this Valentine’s Day we all could indulge and yet not worry about the health part.
First of all it took me couple of attempts to bind these flourless vegan and gluten free brownies. When I successfully got the perfect brownies from my oven I tried them with three different toppings. I tried them with some vegan chocolate chips along with some crushed/chopped peanuts. Then, I tried them with peanut butter frosting and some melted chocolate. It tasted yum and the taste still lingers around my taste buds. Lastly, I tried the most popular combination that is with vegan vanilla ice-cream.
Finally, I settled down to devour these brownies with vegan vanilla ice cream topped with peanut butter frosting + melted chocolate and chopped peanuts. Well, I did not want to leave any of the toppings so I sneaked in some vegan mini chocolate chips as well …hahahha… I wanted it to be little grand in my own way because of the specialty of this month and Valentine’s Day mood. However, the final take of Superfood Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies was outstanding.
