These ooeey gooey brownies with a creamy mint choc chip frosting are vegan, paleo, gluten, grain, oil and refined sugar free 🥳

Chuffed how this frosting turned out! Using https://uk.dhownaturefoods.com Moringa powder in the frosting boosted the nutritional content and added a natural green colour to the frosting instead of using any nasty artificial dyes to get that classic colour.

After experimenting with various ingredients in the brownie mix I’m pretty happy with the end result, which by the way only takes 10 mins to whack together…GET BAKING.
