6 tbsp water

For the brownie layer

½ cup vegan butter
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
¾ cup organic cane sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

For the mint layer

1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
3 tbsp vegan butter, softened
2 tbsp plant-based milk
1 tsp peppermint extract
2–3 drops green food coloring (optional)

For the chocolate topping

½ cup vegan chocolate chips
1 tbsp vegan butter

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp water until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
