Recipe: Healthy Brownies by Cherylee Bennett

These Brownies are a healthy take on an old favourite. We often go away racing, I now get requests to make a batch to take away with us. Even the biggest sweet tooth loves these. They are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, refined sugar free and vegan. I hope you love them as much as we do.
