Originally this started out as a crust for some kinda recipe I was thinking up. Then I realized it was vegan and would actually make a good brownie recipe. So, I just baked it and then topped it with a cool whip recipe I came up with for a quick, easy, and vegan dessert! (If you wanna just buy a healthy brownie mix, I linked Pyure’s new brownie mix for ya!)
I have always been a huge fan of Rum flavored anything! This was always gonna be a rum flavored dessert of some type. I just decided to stop at brownies this time. Why?? Well, because they’re super quick and easy to make. Also, they’re vegan, and I know vegan is becoming more and more popular these days.
Anybody else LOVE those rum life saver’s?? No they aren’t healthy, I ate them as a kid, not now. (Yes I linked them, because balance people) I firmly believe in a balance of 80/20 Eat healthy 80% of the time, and let yourself enjoy those unhealthy things once in a while. Personally, when I restrict myself all the time, eventually I’ll binge on unhealthy foods. 1.) Because I’ve been wanting it so much, and 2.) because I don’t know when i’ll be “allowed” to eat that stuff again so might as well eat as much as possible now.
I plan on continuing on this rum recipe that I was originally thinking up, but for now these brownies will have to do. If you have any great rum recipes, feel free to comment below your faves!!
Also, If there’s anybody who struggles with a healthy food relationship, feel free to talk to me or someone about it. You can DM me on Instagram (ac_unit18) Personally I feel you should never restrict yourself from a certain food group. God made them all for a reason. If that’s not your personal preference then that’s fine too. I just feel that we need nutrients from all of the groups, just have portion control and you’ll be alright. No, sugar (refined) is not in any food group
As always, feel free to comment below if you’ve tried the recipe or have a recipe suggestion! You can DM me on Instagram (ac_unit18) or Facebook (Amy Croasmun) you can also find me on Pinterest (Amy Croasmun)
7- ingredient, Healthy Rum Brownies (Lower-carb, Vegan option)
Ingredients
Brownies
- 2 Moser Roth 85% bar (2 oz. Vegan chocolate for vegan option)
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil (Melted)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp rum flavoring
- 2-3 tsp Pyure (or sweetener of choice)
Whipped topping
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Chocolate Almond butter (I used Barney butter)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Mix the flours, and sweetener. In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the flours, and add the applesauce and rum flavoring. Mix well until fully combined.
- You can either press this into an 8x8 with wax paper, or like me you can use an individual brownie pan that has 12 square holes.
- Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- Remove the solid part of the coconut milk and place in a bowl with the Chocolate Almond butter. Whip into whipped cream and spread over the brownies! Or eat them plain!
