When it comes to vegan desserts things can get a bit tricky. No milk, no butter, no eggs. So instead you have things like almond milk, coconut oil and flax eggs.
And what the hell is a flax egg you ask…
Don’t worry, I just figured this out about two years ago myself. It’s just ground flax seeds mixed with water. Totally doable.
But today we are starting you guys out with something super easy and delicious. Our gluten free, vegan Chocolate Almond Butter Rice Crispy Treats are a no bake dessert that everyone will love! The hardest part is not eating them all at once. 🙂
