Super Moist Vegan Brownies

this Recipe

Last weekend I whipped up a batch of tasty vegan brownies, using xylitol as a sweetener to replace the refined sugar, much to my dismay, my digestive system couldn't handle the xylitol.

Next I tried using stevia, I didn't like it, so I decided to use coconut sugar and it was a winner.
These brownies were so moist and full of flavor, hard not to eat the whole pan.

I have been obsessing over Trader Joe's sunflower seed butter lately, so I made a sunflower seed cream to top off the brownies.
