Delicious desserts don’t need to be environmentally unfriendly, fatty, sugar laden, and calorie intensive to be delicious. There are decadent alternatives that don’t involve packs full of artificial sweeteners and other indecipherable ingredients. This is an easy, fast, drool worthy, RAW brownie recipe that’s free of dairy, eggs, gluten, and refined sugars! Who doesn’t love brownies… and who thought that brownies could be… healthy?!? The raw cocoa used heavily in this recipe provides a super dose of age defying anti-oxidants, along with satisfying your chocolate craving.
