Beauty Brownies.

Offered with love by Iselin A. Støylen

I am delighted to be sharing a most delicious brownie recipe with you today. This recipe is inspired by the Swedish "kladdkaka", a slightly under baked brownie that is soft and gooey in the centre and crisp around the edges. Instead of being filled with sugar and refined flour and oil, this recipe features wholesome, nourishing ingredients. It might be the most delicious, yet nourishing brownie you will ever get your hands on. Gluten free, refined sugar free, plant based and utterly delicious. Happy baking!
