Crunchy nutty mouth-watering Apricot Baobab Chocolate Brownies enriched with almonds, millet, cocoa and chocolate.
Bite into crunch and yumminess. And, lounge.
This dish will have you somersaulting over your beliefs that vegan food can’t be super awesome.
Make this:
- When you’ve a lark in the park and need some treats that’ll have you up and playing rounders in zilch time
- When you’ve got a day at the beach and a yummy snack after you’ve taken a dive in the sea will have your shivers dissipate as you bite into pure lushness
- When your kiddies need a scrumptious snack mid-morning as they languish on the playground
Apricot Baobab Chocolate Brownies was inspired when I held my first London Retreat with friends (Kevin, Michele, Oliver, Christiana, David and Martin). These lush brownies were served that day and a testament to good friends pushing me to do even better.
Apricot Baobab Chocolate Brownies is vegan and gluten-free.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.
Going strong since 2013.
