I remember back when I was in elementary school, I would see my friends bring those two-bite fudge brownies to school for recess. Surprisingly, I was never one of those people who would ask others to share their snacks with me. I was always given some sort of fruit and crackers for recess, which kept me satiated enough not to prowl around the playground asking other kids for some of their snacks… although I do admit that some other kids received snacks that were way more exciting when compared to my lame tupperware of crackers and grapes. Things like dunkaroos, fruit roll-ups, ring pops, Mickey’s Parade Ice Pops (yes is has to be capitalized), and handi-snacks (if you remember all of these, you are my best friend ok). Of course, I mustn’t forget the innocent-looking “two-bite” fudge brownies , that are so sinfully delicious but deficient in nutrients and bad for your health. 

 To give everyone’s favourite two-bite brownies a healthy twist, I’ve created a fiber-rich gluten-free brownie batter without refined sugars, butter, dairy products. Essentially dark chocolate fudge in a bite, they are perfect for an afternoon-pick me up! Next time you see those beige bags of two-bite brownies in the “bakery goods” aisle of your grocery store, you can walk away. Yes, walk away even when they are “on sale”, and head home to make these! Healthier for you, simple to make, and definitely more economical for the bank! 

 If you’re feeling fancy, whip up a vegan chocolate ganache with coconut oil, cocoa powder, and a hint of maple syrup. Drizzle over the brownie bites and voila, you’ve made something “gourmet” to share with company!
