Peanut Buttercup Flavored Brownies

Hi everyone! I felt a chocolate craving today so I decided to make some brownies. These brownies are delicious, moist and super chocolaty and peanut buttery. After three tries, I finally created the best recipe, not too cakey or soft, it is perfect. So if you want to give it a try take a look at the recipe. It is super simple and literally only takes 30 mins to finish, consisting of 10 mins of prep and 10-15 mins to bake. 

Ingredients:

Vegan Chocolaty Banana Caramel Bites

This snack was inspired by a video I had watched on YouTube on how to make vegan caramel, which is basically mashed dates. It is delicious and easy to make. All you need are a couple ingredients that you probably already have in the pantry.

Recipe:

1 banana

Chop up the banana into 1/4 in slices and freeze them until solid.

Caramel:
4 dates
1 tbsp hot water
1 1/2 tsp of honey

Pit the dates and chop them into smaller pieces. Place the dates, hot water and honey into a blender and blend until thick and smooth.

Chocolate coating:
1 1/2 tsp of real cocoa powder
1 tbsp coconut oil

Mix the cocoa powder and and coconut oil together and mix until smooth.

Assembling:

Take your frozen banana slices and smear some caramel on top of each one. Then use a spoon and pour over some of the chocolate coating and let this set in the freezer for 15-20 mins. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO WAIT BUT DO IT. If you don't, you will just have a gooey mess all over your fingers. Once the coating is set, enjoy your master piece Make sure to store these in the freezer if you don't finish them, which I highly doubt, because these are delicious!
