Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 3/4 cup unbleached cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup rice milk (or other non-dairy milk)
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup oil (I use light tasting olive oil)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7 drops peppermint oil
  • 1 cup ultrafine whole grain sorghum flour
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons palm oil
  • 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon rice milk (or other non-dairy milk)
  • Dash salt
  • 4 to 5 drops peppermint oil ((or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract))
  • 1/4 teaspoon blue McCormick natural food coloring powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon yellow McCormick natural food coloring powder
  • 1/4 cup allergy-friendly chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8-inxh square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, rice milk, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, oil, vanilla, salt, and peppermint oil. Mix well to combine
  • Whisk the sorghum flour into the chocolate mixture until a thick batter forms
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes
  • Remove pan from the oven and allow to cool completely before adding frosting to the top
  • While you're waiting for the brownies to cool, prepare the frosting: combine the palm oil, powdered sugar, rice milk, and salt with a hand mixer until creamy
  • Mix in the peppermint oil and the natural food coloring powder and mix again, scraping down the sides periodically, until fully incorporated and creamy. Set aside - don't frost the brownies until they have cooled completely!
  • For the chocolate drizzle: Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil by microwaving for 30 seconds at a time in a small bowl, stirring after each heating session until the chocolate has melted completely and is smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool a bit so it's not hot when you drizzle it on the frosted brownies
  • Once the brownies have cooled, remove the entire sheet of brownies by lifting the parchment paper with the brownies and setting them onto a cutting board (parchment paper and all).
  • Frost the brownies and then drizzle with the melted chocolate. You can cut these right away or wait for the chocolate drizzle to set up a bit
  • Enjoy!
