vegan pecan chocolate brownies

Boom !it is weekend, and the summer is officially here, well not really, the sun comes and goes but HEY no complaint for SURE!. I made these brownies other day and all gone by now, there were so incredibly delicious, super healthy, no added sugar, super easy and tasty. Since then, I couldn’t wait to make this bad boy for you all. This is what I love about being vegan, I actually get to experience new flavor which I never had before. I love the fact that I actually can have vegans sweets, not feel guilty. I came up with this recipe a month ago when I was craving for sugar. I completely stopped eating refined sugar after what I have learned about what the sugar industry doing for our health. It is regrettable to think about why we still allow unhealthily stuff to sell. I still believe healthy foods should be cheaper and accessible to everyone, and unhealthy foods should be banned. Well, it a long way to go. All we can do is eat mindfully. It’s time for a treat.
