Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup spelt flour 140g, Arrowhead Mills gf does also work.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons coffee granules instant, optional
  • 1 cup xylitol or sugar, or coconut sugar, 190g
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 6 tablespoons silken tofu For soy-free, you can use black bean brownies recipe instead.
  • 2/3 cup applesauce 160g
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons milk choice, 30g
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or agave, 30g, you can sub liquid stevia to taste
  • 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil liquid

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325 and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine all brownie dry ingredients and stir well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine all brownie liquid ingredients and stir well.
  • Pour wet into dry and stir until evenly combined (but do not overmix), then transfer to prepared baking pan and cook 32-34 minutes.
  • Allow to cool, and mix frosting ingredients together to form a sauce.
  • Spread sauce over the brownies, then fridge or freeze 10-20 minutes and the sauce magically transforms into fudgey chocolate frosting! These brownies taste much richer the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to intensify.
