These Caramel Cornflake Brownies are inspired by Crumbs & Doilies / Cupcake Gemma — but made gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar–free! They are everything you could want in a holiday treat - it starts with a rich fudgey chocolatey brownie, and is layered with an addictively crunchy almond butter caramel cornflake topping.… unreal, and oh so dangerous.

Brownies

2 eggs
1 cup granulated sweetener of choice (I used coconut sugar)
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup almond flour or oat flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

► Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 pan with parchment.

► Combine eggs & sweetener, then add coconut oil

► Add dry ingredients and mix until combined

► Spread batter in pan & bake 20–25 min.

► Cool completely before adding topping.

Caramel Cornflake Topping
