I won’t settle for anything less than deliciousness when creating my recipes and of course keeping my creations the ESSENTIELLE way which means vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free. It’s not always easy but challenges my creativity and that I love. A gluten-free vegan brownie has been on my list for a long time and I’ve finally nailed it! Super simple ingredients and made in ten minutes plus 30 minutes baking with all good for you ingredients that make a super indulgent treat!
