Healthy Mint Brownies Recipe

Combine the ground flax, applesauce, and almond milk in a small bowl. Set this aside to allow it to thicken.

In a food processor, combine the blueberries, pear, black beans, and 1 teaspoon oil. Pulse until the mixture is very smooth. Next, add the natural butter extract and vanilla extract, then process until fully combined.

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 50 minutes. If you're in a hurry, you can place them in the fridge for 20 or 30 minutes to speed up the cooling.

While the brownies cool, start on your mint filling. In a small bowl, combine the soft avocado with the heavy cream. Beat on high for about 5 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.

Add the powdered xylitol and mix well until fully incorporated.

Next, add the peppermint extract and natural food coloring (if using), and beat until everything is incorporated and the mixture is fluffy and creamy. Add the 3 Tablespoons rice flour and mix until just combined. The filling should be thick and smooth, but still easy to spread.

Spread the mint filling evenly over the cooled brownies. Place the brownies in the fridge for 10 minutes, until the mint filling has firmed up.

While the filling chills, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.
