Now I’m not vegan, but I have a few friends that are. I am animal OBSESSED (which, if you know me, you would already know) but there are a few things I would struggle to give up…like eggs and dairy. I’m not saying I’ll never be vegan, and I’m definitely not putting vegan people down- In fact, I think what they are doing for humanity is incredible!!! Hats off to you guys!!!
I’m fascinated though, by lifestyles and even ‘diets’ that have a certain list of rules…which is why I like to try my best to come up with things that would help people who have adopted that particular lifestyle or diet…so I took on the challenge to make the ultimate vegan brownie.
I failed at this a few times ,but I think after 6 or 7 failed attempts, I finally nailed the recipe.
Did you know: Oreos are considered to be vegan??!! Well if you didn’t, Now you do.
