Vegan Brownie Recipe

Baking brownies with Moreh Maor

Word had it at Akiba recently that Moreh Maor's Hebrew class baked amazing vegan brownies, and so we asked him to share the recipe. They are a delicious treat and great dessert for any meal. Baking brownies is always a great pastime, especially during these trying days of the COVID-19 Pandemic when we're stuck at home.

Furthermore, baking is a fun activity for kids to learn several skills, such as math (measuring), science (liquids/solids), fine motor (crack an egg!), and even social skills like taking turns or following directions.
