# Gooey Almond Butter Brownies These Vegan Brownies are Made from Nutritious Nut Butter By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-10-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-brownies References: [chocolatecoveredkatie](http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2015/10/19/almond-butter-brownies-flourless-vegan/) The 'Chocolate Covered Kate' blog recently put together a recipe for delicious vegan brownies. While freshly baked brownies are a delicious treat, it is not the healthiest type of dessert. This recipe provides a nutritious alternative to traditional brownies. The recipe is extremely simple to make and requires only six ingredients in total. The brownie batter itself is made from a mixture of rolled oats, cocoa powder and almond butter. The addition of nut butter gives the batter a rich and gooey texture that perfectly mimics that of conventional brownies. The batter is then sweetened with maple syrup to balance the bitterness of the cocoa. The end result is a batch of decadent vegan brownies that taste just like the real thing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vegan Desserts:** Create more vegan dessert options to meet the demand for healthier alternatives to traditional treats. - **Alternative Ingredients:** Explore the use of nut butters and rolled oats as alternative ingredients to create healthier versions of classic recipes. - **Simple Recipes:** Develop simple and easy-to-follow recipes that use minimal ingredients and still provide delicious and satisfying results. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Health Food:** Incorporate vegan desserts into the health food industry to cater to health-conscious consumers looking for indulgent yet nutritious options. - **Food Manufacturing:** Include alternative ingredients like nut butters and rolled oats in food manufacturing processes to produce healthier and more diverse dessert options. - **Recipe Apps:** Create recipe apps that feature simple and nutritious dessert recipes to cater to individuals seeking quick and healthy indulgences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nourishing Chickpea Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-brownies.md) - [Health-Focused Plant-Based Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-baking-mix.md) - [Health-Conscious Brownie Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grainfree-fudge-brownie-mix.md) - [Nut Butter Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nut-butter-sandwich-cookies.md) - [Salty Crunchy Vegan Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-sweet-georgia-browns.md) - [Plant-Based Nut Butter Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-peanut-butter-crunch-pie.md) - [Creamy Cashew Butter Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashew-butter-bar.md) - [Soft-Baked Free-From Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-chip-cookies.md) - [Low-Sugar Hazelnut Cocoa Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hazelnut-cocoa-spread.md)
