We all need guilt free goodies in our lives.
Dairy, Gluten and Sugar Free Chocolate Brownies don’t contain any guilt. We love chocolate but we don’t have dairy so we have found lots of creative ways to make chocolate treats. These brownies have been a great way of getting a dairy free chocolate fix and they are really quick to make. I adapted this from an original recipe to make it less sweet and more chocolatey, I also added some nuts to make less of an impact on my blood sugar levels – looking after 2 small children involves looking after yourself too – we can only try!
n.b. I have called these brownies ‘sugar free’ as I used honey instead of refined sugar – they do of course still contain sugars, but will have less of an impact on blood sugar levels than the traditional sugar laden recipe.
