Ingredients

Fudgy Brownies

  • 1/2 cup organic grass-fed butter, melted or avocado oil
  • 1 cup Lily's sugar free chocolate chips
  • 2 large pasture-raised, organic eggs
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 3/4 cup organic coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup organic cacao powder
  • 1 tsp. corn free baking powder
  • 6 T. Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour

Mint Frosting

  • 1/4 cup organic butter, softened or room temp.
  • 1 cup powdered coconut sugar or maple sugar
  • 1 T. dairy-free milk
  • 1/2 tsp. organic mint extract

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1/4 cup organic butter
  • 1/2 cup Lily's sugar free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line an 8x8" glass baking dish with unbleached parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter with the chocolate chips on the stove top in a small saucepan over low heat. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and salt.
  • Remove the melted chocolate chips and butter from the heat. Stir in the coconut sugar then slowly add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Once combined, add the cacao powder, baking powder, and tapioca flour. Stir until combined. Pour into the glass baking dish and spread it out so that it is even.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes. The center should still look gooey and soft. Enjoy now or wait until the brownies have cooled before frosting!
  • For the frosting, beat together all of the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Beat until the frosting is smooth. Spread it evenly over the brownies.
  • Make the ganache by melting the butter and chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat on the stovetop. Once melted and smooth, spread the ganache over the frosting.
  • Chill in the fridge for 30-45 minutes before slicing and serving.
