Ingredients
For the brownies
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups coconut sugar
- ¾ cup rice flour
- ⅓ cup cornmeal
- 3 tbsp cornmeal altogether you'll have ⅓ cup and 3 tbsp of cornmeal
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup vegan butter melted
- 6 oz dark chocolate melted
- 2 tsp peppermint extract
For the icing
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 3 tbsp plant-based milk
- ½ tsp green food coloring
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 degrees F and lightly grease a square baking tin with vegan butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water, and set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a different mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cacao powder, xanthan gum and salt.
- Add the vegan butter, dark chocolate and peppermint extract and whisk together once more.
- Pour the batter into the baking tin and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Try not to overbake as this will make the texture less fudgy.
- Meanwhile, prepare the icing by stirring together the vegan butter, icing sugar, plant based milk, food coloring and peppermint extract.
- Allow the brownies to cool for 5 minutes before drizzling with the icing, slicing and serving.
Notes
- In addition to the peppermint icing, I dusted my brownies with a bit of powdered sugar for the photographs. Optional - but a nice addition!
