Ingredients:
- 10 ounces dairy free dark chocolate
- 1 cup of Earth Balance butter
- 4 organic happy free-range eggs
- 2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 10 oz almond meal
- ½ cup sweet white rice flour
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 bar of dairy free mint dark chocolate, chopped
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 9x13-inch square baking pan with foil and lightly oil the bottom.
- Using the double boiler method melt the dark chocolate and butter. Stir together to combine. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs on medium high till frothy. Add the brown sugar and beat until the mixture is smooth. Add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture very slowly and beat well for a good minute. The chocolate will look smooth and glossy.
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond meal, rice flour, fine sea salt, xanthan gum and baking soda; whisk together. Add the dry flour mix into the chocolate mixture one cup at a time and beat well for a minute. Add the vanilla and mint, beat another half a minute or so.
- Layer the chopped mint chocolate over the top of the batter and press them in slightly. Bake in the center of a preheated 350 degree F oven for 33 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set. Don't overcook, gluten free brownies taste better chewy.
