What better expression of love than the food we eat to nurture our souls? Valentine’s Day is about holding love for yourself, your community, and our planet. I’m so excited to share my Magic Vegan Brownies with the All-One community – a Valentine’s treat crafted with care using the purest regenerative organic and fair trade ingredients. Our Regenerative Organic Certified™ (ROC™) Virgin Coconut Oil provides a nutritious, plant-based fat while forming a creamy, gooey brownie batter. The rich, pure cocoa flavor in our Magic All-One Chocolate makes these brownies extra flavorful, moist, and delicious. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy indulging in this special vegan treat as much as I do.
Before you get started, I have a few simple tricks to achieve maximum deliciousness! Our brownie batter uses one bar of Salted Whole Almonds, one of my favorite Magic All-One Chocolate flavors because of the whole nut inclusions paired with rich salted dark chocolate. However, for this recipe, it’s crucial to chop the almonds very finely before adding to the mix to keep the batter smooth. Because these brownies are so moist and fudgy, your brownie mix will be extra thick, so you may want to use clean hands or gloves to pat the batter into the pan rather than a spatula. While the brownies are in the oven, try using a wood pic to test if they’re fully cooked. Making a vegan ganache may sound daunting, but this recipe will only take you five minutes! If you finely chop the Salted Dark Chocolate bar and use a dry clean whisk, your ganache will be a breeze to whip up while the brownies are in the oven. Lastly, you’ll want to store your brownies in the refrigerator and eat either heated up or room temperature. My favorite Valentine’s touch is serving with a raspberry on top – the perfect fruity compliment to the richness of the brownie with a festive pop of red.
