Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (creamy + salted)
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 flax "eggs" (2 tablespoons ground flax seeds + 5 tbsp water*)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cacao
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Chocolate Ganache
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/3 cup canned coocnut milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 + 1/3 cups cacao powder
- *1-2 tablespoons almond milk (if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl combine almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and flax “eggs”
- Add in cacao, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt and stir until fully incorporated (texture will be very thick)
- Spread batter into parchment paper lined baking dish (or lightly greased). Bake for 22-28 mins (took mine out at 24).
- Meanwhile make your chocolate ganache frosting. Combine all ingredients in a microwavable container. You can leave as is (will be thick like cake frosting) or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute for a thinner silky smooth chocolate ganache to pour over the brownies (stir in 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk after heating to fix any separation or thickness).
- Spread frosting over brownies and cool slightly before adding sprinkles (if desired). Enjoy!
Notes
To make flax "eggs" combine 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds with 5 tablespoons of water. Stir and let sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
