A delicious hearty plant-based Chocolate-Cinnamon Walnut Chili made Cincinnati style.
This is one of my favorite recipes and packed with the nostalgia of growing up in the Midwest eating Cincinnati-style chili — it’s so delicious that we created a nourishing NS version.
It might sound like an odd ingredient combination for you if you didn’t grow up eating Cincinnati-style chili, but try this one out, it’s too good! The subtle rich dark chocolate and warming cinnamon take this chili to a whole new level of comfort.
