Decadent Vegan Mint Chocolate Brownies
These brownies are incredibly fudgy, thanks to the use of ingredients like almond butter and cocoa powder. With a hint of mint and a velvety texture, they take about 30 minutes to prepare and serve approximately 9 to 12 brownies, depending on how you slice them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter or any nut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder and salt. Stir until fully incorporated and no dry ingredients remain.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips and nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

I keep the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to five days. The mint flavor deepens over time, and I let brownies come to room temperature before serving.
