If you truly want these brownies to be gluten-free, make sure to check that your oats are processed in a grain-free facility. To make sure they are vegan, buy vegan chocolate chips, and use agave instead of honey.

* You can use any sugar (raw, coconut, white, etc) and any oil (vegetable, canola, olive, grape seed, etc) that you have in your pantry.

We made it a Vitamix recipe because that's what we do. Above is our Vitamix Pro 750.
