Hey internet!
My brother’s girlfriend brought us a whole box of pears so I decided to make a delish dessert out of them. I went for brownies and made vegan pear brownies.
Pears really add the nice texture and brownies were approved by all family members. 😁
I went a bit skimpy on sugar since I didn’t want them to be too sweet (first test batch I made literally gave me sugar rush). You can add some more (50 g let’s say) and it shouldn’t change the structure much.
Enjoy! 🍫

Line the 22x22cm baking sheet with parchment paper (see down below how I improvised since I don’t have a square pan).

Let's bake our vegan brownies 🐒
Pour the batter in the baking pan, even it out and add walnuts or coconut drops on the top. Bake for 35 minutes (don’t over-bake it!).
When they are done let them rest for a bit and then cut to squares. And you are all done 🤩

You can substitute pears with apples and zucchinis.
Please don’t over-bake the brownies 👏🏼
