So Is It a Brownie?

Well, yes and no. Like a brownie it is moist, delicious, chocolate-ly goodness cut into squares, and  does have cocoa and chocolate, but because it is sweetened with maple and not made with eggs, or even flour it’s also a little unique. If you are looking for a traditional brownie <— Click!

Lets Talk Chocolate and Cocoa:

In this recipe I use both unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate. Chocolate chips work great, or you can chop up your favorite chocolate bar. I use the HU paleo chocolate bar to keep this recipe refined sugar free.

Can You Freeze Vegan Chocolate Almond Butter Oat Bake?

Yes! I do it all the time and this oat bake thaws beautifully and heats in the microwave to become just as moist, warm and delicious as the day it’s baked!
