Why You’ll Love These Vegan Copycat Cosmic Brownies
- They’re incredibly rich, thick, and dense
- They’re gluten free, refined sugar free, and completely dairy free
- The ganache coating perfectly compliments the dense & rich brownies
- You’ll feel like a kid all over again!
Key Ingredients
- Sweet Potato – serves as a binding agent, and a source of moisture, creating a dense, fudgey texture with less added sugar and fat
- Almond Butter – creates a thick base without needing to need butter, and are able to keep this dairy free
- Oat flour – helps bind the wet ingredients together into a brownie dough
- Cocoa Powder – a staple for a rich, chocolate brownie base
- Coconut Sugar – refined sugar free sweetener. Coconut sugar is lower glycemic index than white sugar, meaning it’s less likely to spike your blood sugar
- Colorant– I used Color Kitchen Foods dye-free colorant in the icing. I also like Go Supernatural Brand
