US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325˚F.
Grease a 9 x9 baking pan with cooking spray, butter or coconut oil. Set aside.
In a small bowl add the two eggs and whisk very well.
In a large bowl, pour almond butter, honey, vanilla extract and the eggs. Mix well with a spatula until smooth.
Add all the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips and mix well to combine.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave and pour into the batter. Mix everything well to combine.
Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan.
Bake for about 25 - 30mins or until the brownies are cooked through.
While the brownie is in the oven, make the chocolate frosting.
In a heatproof bowl, add dark chocolate chips over simmering water.
When the chocolate is starting to melt, add the almond milk and mix well until all is combined and smooth.
Allow the chocolate frosting to cool before icing the brownies.
Cut brownies into small squares (approximately 12 pieces). Place the brownies on wax paper or on a clean surface.
Gently spoon chocolate frosting onto the top of each brownie square and immediately garnish with Halloween sprinkles, before chocolate frosting sets up. Enjoy!

Notes

Bring cold ingredients, such as eggs and milk, to room temperature before using. This helps them mix better.
You can sift the cocoa powder beforehand if it's lumpy.
You can use semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips interchangeably in the recipe, based on how you'd like for your brownies to taste.
To store: Place brownies in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
To freeze: Place brownies in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
