Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles
Chocolate Frosting
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate bar chopped
- 6 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil and set aside.
- Whisk eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the two eggs very well until fully combined.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and the whisked eggs. Use a spatula to mix until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt, mixing well to fully combine the batter.
- Melt and add chocolate chips: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts, then pour the melted chocolate into the batter. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the chocolate evenly.
- Pour and bake: Pour the completed batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Prepare frosting: While the brownies bake, place the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method). When the chocolate starts melting, add almond milk and stir continuously until smooth and glossy.
- Cool and frost: Allow the frosting to cool slightly but remain pourable. Once brownies are baked and cooled enough to handle, cut them into approximately 12 squares.
- Decorate: Spoon the chocolate frosting gently over each brownie square and immediately sprinkle Halloween sprinkles on top before the frosting sets.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow frosting to set for a few minutes, then serve your festive gluten-free Halloween brownies and enjoy!
Notes
- Bring cold ingredients, such as eggs and almond milk, to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smoother batter and frosting.
- Sift the cocoa powder if it appears lumpy to avoid clumps in your batter.
- Semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips can be used interchangeably depending on your preferred chocolate flavor intensity.
- To store, refrigerate brownies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
- For longer storage, freeze brownies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
