Chocolate Brownies with Salted Caramel Icing (Allergy-Friendly)

How can one not love gooey, fudgey brownies? Add salted caramel to the mix, and said brownies become irresistible! As much as I love the everything salted caramel craze, these brownies were not intentionally made to become salted caramel brownies, but a magical accident happened (baking accidents are the best) and the type of sugar, vanilla and other icing ingredients transformed into caramel and voila! — Chocolate Brownies with Salted Caramel Icing were created.

Unlike sticky caramel that gets stuck in your teeth, this caramel icing is light and soft yet sweet and buttery. Dusted with a sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt, and the salty sweet perfection melds into the chocolate brownie layers. When drizzled on top of the brownie cake fresh from the oven, the salted caramel icing is able to melt into the hot brownie and mix with the chocolate chips to create a chocolate caramel swirl. Chocolate, caramel, and pink salt — the three ingreidnets to happiness.

While brownies are not exactly the epitome of health food, these brownies are somewhat better for you than the traditional brownie. They are made with plant-based and mostly unrefined ingredients. They actually happen to be grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and nut-free. That’s a lot of allergies that you don’t have to worry about when making or consuming this sweet treat. This brownie recipe takes the trouble out of finding the perfect dessert to make for everyone; they are great for bringing to an event while avoiding harmful ingredients or potential allergens. Simple ingredients = simple chocolate and caramel taste. Plus, there’s the added benefit of high protein in this baking mix. Besides containing high quality ingredients, these brownies taste rich and decadent. Whip up a batch of these chocolate brownies with salted caramel icing for a fun and simple plant-based treat!
