Directions:Preheat oven 325º Line an 8" square baking pan w/ parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside In a medium bowl, whisk together almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup and coconut oil. Whisk until it resemble caramel. Add cocoa powder in 1/4 cup increments, whisking until well mixed and thick like frosting. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Whisk in vanilla, salt and flax eggs, until well incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold in almond flour until you get the consistency of soft dough or a very thick batter, and no flour patches remain. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into pan. Using the rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer. Bake for 28-36 minutes. Cool for 2-3 hours. These must be completely cooled before frosting. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the frosting ingredients. Whisk until this mix thickens and resembles melty frosting. Life brownies out of the baking pan and set onto a baking sheet. Pour frosting over brownies. Using a rubber spatula spread the frosting into an even layer. Place in the freezer for 20-25 minutes to harden the frosting for easier slicing. Enjoy! |
