Ingredients
- 2 flax eggs 1 flax egg = 2 tablespoons water + 1 tablespoons ground flax meal
- ½ cup plant-based butter melted
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup real maple syrup
- ¼ cup peppermint mocha cold brew latte we used Califia Farms
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 cup 1-to-1 gluten-free flour
- ¼ - ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips mini morsels or regular size
Toppings:
- Crushed candy canes or other peppermint candy
Instructions
- Flax Eggs: Put 1 tablespoon ground flax and 2 tablespoons water, each in a separate small bowl. Mix to combine and let sit for at least 5 minutes (or more), while you gather the other ingredients.
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 or 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving little flaps on either end so you can easily lift out the brownies. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the melted vegan butter, coconut sugar and maple syrup. Whisk to combine. Add flax eggs to the bowl and whisk again. Add peppermint mocha cold brew latte, vanilla extract and peppermint extract. Whisk to combine.
- Dry Ingredients: Now add the baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, gluten-free flour and xanthum gum to the bowl. Use a spoon to combine. Add in chocolate chips and stir one more time.
- Bake: Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading out evenly. Place in oven, middle rack, and let bake for 18-22 minutes.
- Cool + Serve: Remove and let cool, about 15 minutes. Pull out brownies, using parchment paper flaps and place on a plate to cool. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, if desired. Cut and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chocolate: Feel free to add more chocolate chips, if you like your brownies really chocolatey OR you can omit them if you don't like really chocolatey brownies.
- Fluffy Brownies: If you like more a light and fluffy brownie, I would recommend adding an additional 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
- Storage: You can leave them out on the counter overnight and then we recommend keeping them in the refrigerator after 24 hours or so. They will keep in there for 5-7 days.
