These brownies with cacao frosting are one of my favorite recipes ever. They are the softest, sweetest, moistest, chocolatey bites ever, and then this recipe is actually very easy to make, with no added sugar and only naturel ingredients, and the sea salt flakes are perfect on top.
Salt/chocolate is just always a great combo for brownies. If you aren’t used to sugar free cakes, you can easily add a couple of tablespoons honey, maple syrup or sugar for extra sweetness. If you want to try out more of these vegan brownie recipes I can recommend trying these healthy brownies with sweet potatoes.
