Brown Bread Dessert
Yes! This recipe really includes BROWN BREAD! You wouldn’t know it unless someone told you though, because the end result has no hint of bread flavor in it! The taste was fantastic and sooo much like a moist and delicious black forest! Only with a slightly healthier twist to it. Plus it literally takes moments to prepare!
