Tips For Making Vegan Brownies
Eat The Brownies Warm
I can't stress this enough. These brownies taste great warm as they are very fudgy and very chocolatey. If you prefer them cooler, that's also fine.
Substitute For Crunchy Peanut Butter
If you opt to use crunchy peanut butter instead, you're in for a great surprise. These brownies taste great with a crunch on top to go with the chocolate flavours.
I'm aware that not everybody likes it this way and therefore, they recipe calls for regular peanut butter.
How To Store These Peanut Butter Brownies
Store these vegan brownies at room temperature for up to two days or in the fridge for up to four days.
