These Gluten Free Cosmic Brownies will take you right back to your childhood, but not bring back any of the guilt!

I used to be OBSESSED with cosmic brownies. For some reason, I’m not the biggest chocolate fan of all time. I never have been. But I was a tried and true Cosmic Brownies fan always. They were so soft on the inside, the frosting was absolutely bomb, and the sprinkles were just a straight up vibe. When I would get one of these in my lunch box, I would literally audibly gasp I’d be so excited.

Here’s what you’ll need for these Gluten Free Cosmic Brownies:

• semi-sweet chocolate bar (dairy-free if vegan)

• coconut oil

• coconut milk (the cream on top of the can)

• eggs

• arrowroot powder

• cocoa powder

• sugar (can use coconut sugar)

• vanilla extract

• sea salt

• rainbow sprinkles

If you’re craving some snacking brownies you need to try these out! Make your batter and bake it in an 8”x8” pan, that way the brownies come out a little thinner, as Cosmic Brownies would be. Make your chocolate ganache as your brownies are baking, and sprinkle the sprinkles on top before the ganache hardens.
