Sweets are generally considered a not-so-healthy temptation. Thanks to modern health trends, however, this has completely changed in recent years.

Vegan and healthier options

For vegan or healthy variants, you can select recipes in which you do without certain ingredients or replace them with others.

The different variants of pumpkin brownies could be baked quite delicious without the following ingredients:

• eggs,
• Flour,
• Sugar,
• chocolate chips.

One or more of these ingredients can be omitted, depending on taste and current health condition. Especially with eggs and flour, however, it does not work at the same time. You have to decide between them. If you do not tolerate gluten well or at all, you can choose an appropriate alternative. We have already explained how sugar can be replaced.
