If you are a coffee-lover, this recipe is very likely to be a hit with you! These no-bake chocolate espresso brownies are a personal favorite of mine and are so easy to make.
The brownies are made from wholesome ingredients, have no added sugars, are gluten-free and are vegan friendly. They also make for an amazing pre-workout snack.
If you prefer a sweeter brownie, you can use just a tablespoonful of the espresso and add a tablespoonful of maple syrup.
