Recipe Steps for Cassava Flour Mint Fudge Brownies

Making these Cassava Flour Mint Fudge Brownies is a fun and rewarding experience! Just follow these simple steps for a delicious treat that everyone will love. Let’s dive in!

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. This is important to ensure even baking. While the oven warms up, prepare your baking pan. Lightly oil an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.

2. Next, it’s time to make the brownie batter. In a high-powered blender, combine all of the brownie ingredients: the coconut oil, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, cassava flour, erythritol sweetener, cocoa powder, sea salt, baking powder, baking soda, ripe avocado, extra erythritol, extra cassava flour, extra peppermint extract, and pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, with a thick and creamy consistency.

3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer with a spatula. The batter should be glossy and rich-looking, indicating you’ve blended it well.

4. Now, place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you’ll know they’re done when the center of the brownies looks set but still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.

5. Once baked, take the brownies out of the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 1 hour at room temperature. This helps them firm up, making them easier to slice later.

6. While the brownies are cooling, prepare the mint topping. In a bowl, mash together the remaining topping ingredients: the ripe avocado (if using), erythritol, cassava flour, and peppermint extract. You can also use a small blender if you prefer a smoother consistency.

7. Once the brownies have cooled, spread the mint topping evenly over the top. Use a spatula to smooth it out, making sure to cover the brownies completely.

8. Optionally, sprinkle some cacao nibs over the topping for an extra crunch and a touch of elegance. It adds a nice visual appeal!

9. Finally, slice the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy them fresh or store any leftovers in a tupperware container in the refrigerator. If you want to save some for later, they freeze beautifully in a zip lock bag.
