Plant-Based Black Forest Brownies are rich and fudgy. Filled with cherries and chocolate, these bars are deliciously decadent plant-based treats.
Making plant-based desserts is always so much fun. I love creating recipes that are made with whole food ingredients but taste incredibly delicious and rich. You don't have to use unhealthy ingredients to create a beautiful flavor. We are meant to eat foods that honor our bodies - you can satisfy cravings while still eating foods that nourish and fuel your body.
These Plant-Based Black Forest Brownies do just that. They are chocolaty and rich and decadent, while still filled with vitamins, fiber, and other nutrients that your body needs.
You may have heard of a black forest cake - it's layers of chocolate, cherries, and whipped cream. These brownies are black forest cake but in brownie form.
They're brownies with cherries inside. And if you want you can top them with some delicious coconut whipped cream. So tasty!
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line the bottom and sides of a brownie pan with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a medium bowl stir the sweet potato, date sugar, cashew butter, and cherries.
Step 3. Mix in the cocoa powder, oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4. Stir in the chocolate chips and optional cherry halves. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before cutting.
Step 5. When the brownies are cooled, top with additional cherries. Enjoy!
Since these brownies are made with whole food ingredients they will only last out on the counter for a couple days. For best results, store these brownies in the fridge.
These plant-based brownies also freeze well. Pop them in the freezer and when you're ready to eat one, defrost it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
Thank you God for desserts that nourish our bodies with ingredients that taste good. We are so thankful that we have this food to eat.
