Fudgy, decadent, chock full of coconut, walnuts and chocolate chips and yes, also vegan and gluten free. Does life get any better? Actually it does – these are oil free too :=D. Enjoy!

Side Note|Warning: Don’t taste the batter. Seriously. Usually I would encourage you to, after all there are no worries of salmonella from eggs or anything, but this one is a bit different. Have you ever tasted raw chickpea flour? If you have, you know what I’m talking about. It’s bitter and has a very strong overwhelming flavor. But don’t worry, somewhere in the great magic of baking, the flour loses it’s power and blends right in, taking it’s place among the other ingredients so perfectly you’d never know how it started out.
