Triple Chocolate Brownies

Difficulty: Easy

Serves 12

One of the most common questions I get from people regarding my veganism is “don’t you miss chocolate?” When you can eat these Triple Chocolate Brownies, missing chocolate is near impossible! I’ve tried many vegan brownies in my time but I until now I had only made them once myself from a recipe. They were delicious however I thought I would try my hand at making my own. This recipe is particularly awesome as you probably have most of these items in the pantry and if you don’t, they’re only a supermarket trip away!

These brownies are so delicious, that somehow my brother’s puppy managed to jump up on the kitchen counter and take several bites out of them while I wasn’t looking! I was worried the chocolate would make her ill but she is perfectly fine.
