Peppermint Brownies (gluten free, paleo, dairy free)

These peppermint brownies are so delicious! Moist and fudgy on the inside and firm on the outside these are the best mint brownies. Made with almond flour and coconut flour they are gluten free, dairy free and paleo!

How to make these Peppermint Brownies:

You will love how easy these brownies are to make!

• Preheat your oven to 325F
• Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of your standing mixer
• Melt the chocolate bars by placing them in a microwave safe dish and heating on high for 20-30 second intervals until they are melted
• Add the melted chocolate and other wet ingredients to the bowl of your standing mixer
• Blend well, on a low setting, until smooth
• Line an 8 x 8 inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the dough to the baking dish
• Spread the dough evenly until smooth (tip: wet your spoon frequently to make this easier)
• Bake the brownies for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean

Tips for making these Peppermint Brownies:

1. Make sure you wet your spoon frequently when spreading the batter. It is very thick and sticky and will be hard to spread otherwise.
2. I used Hu Chocolate Crunchy Mint Chocolate Bars to make these brownies. This is the only mint chocolate bar I have found that is sweetened with coconut sugar. But feel free to use any other mint chocolate bar (just be sure it is dairy free to keep this recipe paleo).
3. I topped these mint brownies with melted coconut manna, a melted mint chocolate bar and crushed candy canes but feel free to add other toppings if you wish.
4. These brownies store really well in the fridge and will stay fresh for up to a week.

Questions about these Peppermint Brownies:

• Are these brownies paleo? Yes! These are paleo brownies because they are grain free, dairy free and refined sugar free.
• Are these brownies vegan? No they are not. They have eggs in them which are not permitted on a vegan diet. I have not tried making these with an egg replacement so if you do please let me know how they turn out.
• What can I use instead of almond flour? I have not tested this recipe with any other flours but I would suggest cashew flour if you want to try.
