If you’re looking for an easy recipe for very chewy vegan brownies, this is for you! This variation includes one of my favorite type of nuts, called pecans. 

To add a delicious flavor to the brownies, I roast the pecans with honey and cinnamon. Including pecans adds fiber to the dessert, honey add antioxidant content, and cinnamon has probiotic properties that can support gut health – making them great supplements for this treat! You can also add fresh fruit like blueberries, pomegranate seeds, etc. 🙂
