Method
 

Prepare the Brownie Base
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, and sugar-free sweetener. Mix well.
  3. Add the applesauce, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake the Brownies
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Prepare the Topping
  1. While the brownies cool, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  2. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled brownies.
  3. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the melted chocolate layer, pressing down gently to adhere.
Serve
  1. Refrigerate the brownies for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  2. Once set, cut into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy your sugar-free peppermint brownie squares!
