Equipment
- 9x9-inch baking pan
- large bowl
- small bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
For the chocolate ganache frosting:
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles or rainbow coated chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, egg and egg yolk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Add in the cocoa powder, then whisk again to fully combine the brownie batter.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted down the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes.
- Once brownies are slightly cool, make the chocolate ganache by melting together the chocolate chips and non-dairy milk in 30 second bursts in the microwave. Once the chocolate has melted, stir together the ganache until it’s smooth and combined.
- Pour the ganache over the brownies and top with sprinkles. Then, transfer the brownies to the fridge for 1 hour, or until the ganache is firm.
- Remove the brownies from the pan and cut into squares. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for later on!
