Paleo & Vegan Peppermint Brownies

I don't know about anyone else, but I used to absolutely LOVE cosmic brownies as a kid. They were so fudgy and delicious, so I made a paleo and vegan cosmic brownie recipe last year. The other day I decided to make a peppermint version because I loveeeee anything mint + chocolate. These are fudgy, paleo, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and so so heavenly!

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

• coconut oil
• almond butter
• coconut sugar
• cacao powder
• peppermint extract
• almond flour
• coconut cream
• non-dairy chocolate chips

See recipe card for quantities.

Storage

Store these in the fridge or freezer!
