The holiday season is here and I am so excited about all of the holiday baking. I love making healthier versions of my favorites. These Vegan Gingerbread Oat Flour Brownies with Coconut Sugar and Almond Butter are fudgy and decadent but made with better for your ingredients.
How are these brownies healthier?
The vegan gingerbread brownies are healthy because of the ingredients. These vegan brownies are made with oat flour which adds healthy fiber to the recipe. They use minimal and unrefined sugar like molasses and coconut sugar. Almond butter adds healthy fats to this recipe to mellow out the sugar and prevent a blood sugar crash.
How are these brownies made?
This is a one bowl brownie recipe so it is super easy to make. All you do is add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix until smooth. Then, pour the batter into a lined baking dish and bake. It is crucial to let the brownies cool so they can set and won't be crumbly.
How do I store the extras?
These brownies can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for months.
What can I substitute?
- Almond butter can be subbed for another thick nut butter like cashew or sunbutter. I wouldn't recommend using a liquidy nut or seed butter like tahini
- Coconut sugar can be subbed for another granulated sugar
What ingredients you need for this recipe:
- melted coconut oil
- vanilla extract
- coconut sugar
- molasses
- almond butter
