Apple Brownies

This post is brought to you by Comp. II homework procrastination.

I have to finish a paper, but after spending an entire day trying to complete it, I’m wearing out. I’ve eaten dinner, had a nice cup of hot chocolate, and now seeking a way to avoid my essay. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy writing papers, but I have to finish this one early and cramming a huge essay into four days doesn’t really appeal to me.

So to get my mind off of it I thought I would share this brownie recipe with you.

Adapted from this recipe, these brownies are now vegan, gluten free, and involve leaf sugar. I actually experimented with three batches to make sure they would be perfect. I used brown sugar in the first batch and a mixture of cane juice and stevia in the second, baking the third with brown sugar and stevia. The brownies with brown sugar and stevia were better than the other ones!

So naturally we gave the others away and kept the best for ourselves. 🙂

Baker gets first choice, right?

Everyone loves a good brownie, but sometimes a change from the good ol' chocolate brownie is nice.

My Bible Verse For Today:

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
