GF Magic Fudge Brownies – a decadent brownie without dairy & egg.

Fudgy and decadent… These brownies are sweetened with dates, xylitol, and stevia.  I decided to sprinkle some dairy-free, allergy-friendly mini chocolate chips on top. The more chocolate the better in my opinion. But feel free to leave the chocolate chips off for less sugar, calories, and fat. Gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, in fact…you might be surprised…
