Made in under 35 minutes; these vegan gluten-free brownies, are deliciously gooey, refined sugar-free and super high in protein.

They make the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth whilst being gentle on your blood sugar levels.

If you want brownies that are easy to make, rich, chocolaty, have the perfect fudge factor along with the perfect amount of peanut butter, then this recipe is for you!

Besan flour is also known as chickpea flour. A great option for coeliacs, gluten intolerant or those who are simply gluten free. Besan flour is extremely high in protein, making this a really healthy choice for a flour. Besan flour also gives a moist and fluffy texture.
