how to make Epic S’mores Brownies
Ingredients:
- 12 graham crackers
- 6 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
- Brownie mix (like my Bailey’s Brownies, but use regular instead of Bailey’s ingredients)
- Vegan chocolate chips
- Mini marshmallows (amount is up to you 😉)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, blend the graham crackers, melted butter, and maple syrup (or honey) until a dough forms.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of a baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the brownie layer using your favorite brownie recipe.
- If using chickpea-based brownies, remove the pan from the oven when baked and spread the brownie mixture on top of the crust. Note: You may need to bake the brownies for closer to 20 minutes, as they won’t touch the bottom of the pan.
- After the brownies are done, remove the pan from the oven and top with a layer of mini marshmallows.
- Turn on the broiler and place the pan on the lower rack. Broil until the marshmallows are toasted to your liking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
