Ingredients
  

Brownies

  • ½ cup gluten free flour (I use Namaste Foods)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp ghee (can sub butter)
  • 1 cup monk fruit sweetener (I use Lakanto to make it low sugar, can sub regular sugar)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup milk (I use coconut)

Frosting

  • 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ cup monk fruit powdered sugar (I use Lakanto for low sugar, but can sub regular)
  • handful pretzels & chocolate (I use Quinn gluten free pretzels and dark chocolate)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a square baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together melted ghee and monk fruit/sugar. Add in the eggs, vanilla and milk. Mix until fully combined.
  • Add in your dry ingredients to your wet and mix until smooth. Your batter should be thick!
  • Evenly spread batter into your greased pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
  • While baking, prepare your frosting by combining all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
  • Chill the frosting in the fridge and prepare the chocolate covered pretzels.
  • Microwave chocolate in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Dip the pretzels in the chocolate and place on a parchment lined baking sheet to cool. You can pop these in the freezer to harden faster.
  • Once brownies are baked and cooled, spread the pb frosting over top and assemble your pretzels.
  • If needed, place the brownies in the freezer until the frosting has hardened slightly.
