I think the cool kids call these “slutty brownies” but for one I am not cool and two my mom wold 100% have something to say if I had a recipe with “slut” in it – ha!

So we’re going with The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Brownies and I am feeling really good about these bad boys. They are gluten-free and vegan and made with such easy ingredients you will see.

What I also love about these is that they sound 100x more gluttonous than they actually are. When you think about adding cookies into brownies, most would say “whoa that’s crazy” but when you add a thin layer of these Crunchy Chocolate Chips Cookies from Simple Mills on the brownie batter, you’ll see they really aren’t as crazy as you think.

For starters the Simple Mills cookies are made with a nut and seed blend, organic coconut sugar, organic coconut oil and all ingredients you would find in your own kitchen. How awesome is that? But I am sure most of you already know this since I talk about Simple Mills and all of their goodies often. We have been a fan of their mixes, crackers and cookies for over four years now (so insane!) and it has been amazing to see their brand grow. I remember when they only had cake mixes to offer. Now there are so many options to choice from.

These brownies are based off of my Grain-free Chocolate Chip Brownie recipe from the blog but I adapted them to make them egg-free/vegan. You can also totally cheat and use the Simple Mills Brownie Mix, which works wonderfully here! You may need to double up the mix as they are a bit thinner than my recipe but who’s complaining about a double batch of brownies?! Not me 😉
