I adapted this recipe out of The Happy Herbivore Cookbook: Over 175 Delicious Fat-Free and Low-Fat Vegan Recipes
The recipe was for a single-serving brownie, baked in a single muffin cup. I made it times 4 and baked it in a Wilton 24 Cup Mini Muffin Pan
On the subject of honey, which I used in my adaption, I have no qualms over using it, instead of agave nectar. For one, I can source raw honey locally from a variety of sellers year round. The processing is minimal. It avoids the issue of ‘honey-washing‘ and keeps my money local. Agave has to be brought in and is considerably more processed. This morning I found some lovely blackberry honey at our farmers market by Bees in the ‘Burbs, who just opened a retail store. No bland honey, it is amazing in taste!
