Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings

Instruction

  • Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.

  • In a microwave-safe bowl or in a small saucepan, combine your almond butter with maple syrup and heat until the mixture is melted completely.
  • Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and add the peppermint extract and stir until combined. If the batter is too crumbly, slowly add milk of choice, one tablespoon at a time.
