2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup vegan butter or coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
3/4 cup almond milk

In a large bowl, combine the Sprouted Red Fife Flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil or butter, apple sauce, almond milk, peppermint extract and vanilla extract.
Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool before frosting with the ganache.
