Cherry and Coconut Vegan Brownies

ground flaxseed - flour - brown sugar
unsweetened cocoa powder - dried shredded coconut - salt
coconut oil - dark chocolate - lemon juice
vanilla - coconut milk beverage - fresh cherries

merely the coconut oil and coconut milk pushing out the butter and milk
so its not something to make me frown excessively, but one could traditionalize this with the coconut as well

This is a fascinating project with important stories compiled in a visually appealing book.

I liked glancing at the recipes, but will not be making any of them—they either ask for more work than I am willing to put in or ingredients that are not common in my kitchen. So, I can’t comment on any results.
