One of my favorite treats to make during the holidays is peppermint brownies. I love anything peppermint, especially fudgy, gooey brownies.
These are double chocolate chip brownies that taste incredible. This is the perfect treat to make if you’re going to a holiday party or hosting one. It’s a really simple recipe and takes less than an hour to make including prep time.
Ingredients
- Whole Wheat Flour: The first ingredient you need is whole wheat flour. This recipe calls for 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.
- Oat Flour: The next ingredient you need is oat flour. Blend rolled oats in a blender to make oat flour. This recipe calls for 1/4 cup of oat flour.
- Vanilla Extract: You also need a splash of vanilla extract.
- Peanut Butter: The next ingredient you need is peanut butter. I used creamy peanut butter for this recipe, but feel free to use crunchy peanut butter instead. This recipe calls for 1/4 cup of peanut butter.
- Cocoa Powder: You also need unsweetened cocoa powder. I used Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
- Applesauce: You also need 1/2 cup of applesauce. Applesauce adds sweetness and makes the brownies gooey.
- Truvia Baking Blend: You also need truvia baking blend, or a sweetener of your choice.
- Mini Candy Canes: The next ingredient you need is mini candy canes. Candy canes add a strong peppermint flavor and a nice crunch. This recipe calls for 2 mini candy canes.
- Almond Milk: Next, you need almond milk, or a nut milk of your choice. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk for this recipe.
- Chocolate Chips: The last ingredient you need is vegan chocolate chips. This recipe calls for 1 tbsp of chocolate chips, but you can certainly add more if you want the brownies even sweeter. I sprinkled the chocolate chips on top, but you can fold some chocolate chips in the batter as well.
