Vegan Almond Flour Brownies

Rich almond flour brownies with peanut butter glaze.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • ΒΌ cup melted coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup at room temperature
  • 2 Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/3 cup arrowroot starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup organic powdered sugar (*or 2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup)
  • 5 tablespoons almond or coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, syrup, "eggs", and vanilla.
  2. In another bowl whisk together the cacao, salt, almond flour, arrowroot and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, mix the dry ingredients into the wet until combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes.
  3. To make the peanut butter glaze, with an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter, sugar, and milk together. *Note: the powdered sugar will result in a shiny glaze like pictured. If you would like a healthier option, try maple syrup instead of the sugar and thin with milk to desired consistency.
  4. Spread peanut butter glaze over brownies after they have cooled slightly or completely. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt. You can always add more, but it's hard to take salt off once it's on! I store these in the refrigerator so the glaze stays firm.

Notes

*Paleo Option: For the glaze/icing, use almond butter instead of peanut butter. Use the maple syrup method instead of powdered sugar.

*If not using the frosting, I recommend adding a small handful of chocolate chips and walnuts to the batter before baking.
