Fudgy Vegan Brownies! – Mind Over Munch

Thanks to Sunsweet for teaming up with me on this episode!

Prune Puree
1 package Sunsweet ® D'Noir™ Prunes
1/2 c water

• Blend prunes and water together in a food processor for 3-5 minutes, until extremely smooth.

Coconut Oil frosting
2 Tbsp coconut oil, solid
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-3 Tbsp almond milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2-3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 Tbsp prune puree (see above)

1. Use a hand mixer to cream the coconut oil in a bowl.
2. Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
3. Adjust consistency using powdered sugar to thicken and milk to thin. You don't want any clumps of oil or sugar– it should be thick and creamy!

Fudgy Vegan Brownies
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup flour (all-purpose, whole wheat, oat flour, or gluten-free all purpose)
3/4 – 1 cup coconut sugar, to taste
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted and room temperature
1/3 cup prune purée (see above)
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
2. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with foil. Spray with cooking spray.
3. In one bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar and salt.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, prune puree´, and apple sauce until smooth.
5. Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir to combine. It will seem dry at first but will turn into a fudgy batter! Do not over mix.
6. Spread into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set.
7. Allow to cool to the touch.
8. Use the foil lining to remove the brownies from the pan.
9. Frost with coconut oil frosting (see above) and top with chopped walnuts.
10. Cut into squares and enjoy! Lasts 3-5 days in the fridge.
