Ingredients
1/2 cup dairy-free salted butter, melted
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 oz semi-sweet baker’s chocolate, melted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
1/3 cup vegan-friendly Oreo crumbs
24 mini pumpkin candies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F and grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly.
Chop the baker’s chocolate and microwave in 15-second intervals until smooth.
Whisk the melted butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking vigorously for 3 minutes.
Fold the melted chocolate into the butter mixture.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt; mix until just combined.
Divide the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until set.
Heat the coconut milk and chocolate chips together to create a ganache.
Cool the brownies, top with ganache, Oreo crumbs, and a mini pumpkin candy.
Notes
Ensure your coconut milk is the thick, full-fat canned variety for the best ganache texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The batter should be slightly thick.
