Ingredients for Ninja Brownie Cookie Dough Bites
Brownies
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tspn vanilla
- 1 tspn white vinegar
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 tspn baking soda
- 1/2 tspn salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Cookie Dough
- 3/8 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/8 cup granulated white sugar
- 3 tblspn coconut milk (the kind you use for cereal, not the canned kind, unless that’s all you’ve got, but really at that point, don’t open a whole can to do this…just put some water in the milk’s place and see how it works out)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, room temperature
- 1 cup oat flour (or, you can be cheap and lazy like me and just use baby oatmeal cereal)
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (homemade or some of that store bought stuff, either way…but one day I’m going to make a recipe for some made with chocolate liqueur, so keep an eye-out for that)
Icing (for the mask)
- 10-15 drops red gel food coloring (or whatever color masks you want–I wanted red)
- 1 can coconut milk, refrigerated for at least 2 hours
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tspn vanilla extract
Eyes
- More chocolate chips
How to Make Ninja Brownie Cookie Dough Bites
- To make the ninja top and bottom, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease muffin tin. Set aside.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl except for the chocolate chips.
- Mix all the wet ingredients together in another medium bowl.
- Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients in 1/3 cup increments. Or, if you’re impatient, like me, just dump everything together.
- Blend until batter is smooth.
- Place chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave in 10-second increments, stirring every 10 seconds, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add melted chocolate chips to the batter and stir until mixed thoroughly.
- Pour the batter into the muffin tin, but only fill about 1/2 full.
- Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, or you just don’t have the patience to wait any longer.
- While those are cooking, you can make the cookie dough. Start by creaming the coconut oil and sugars together.
- Add vanilla, milk and salt and mix thoroughly.
- Mix-in the oat flour in small increments until mixture is smooth.
- Stir-in chocolate chips, if that’s how you’re going to roll.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack after removing from muffin tin. Or just burn your fingers as you “try” them. Sometimes, I just can’t wait…
- Dump all the brownies out of the muffin tin and let it all cool, including the tin (you’re going to need it).
- While that’s cooling, make your red icing for the masks. Start by opening your can of coconut milk and scoop the thick cream part into a bowl, trying to get as little of the coconut water as possible. Discard coconut water or just set aside for chugging later, whatever.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla to the coconut cream.
- Mix on high 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer until it becomes stiff and fluffy.
- Fold-in the pink and red food coloring. Don’t worry about mixing it in too much, just get it pinky-red and call it. Its ok if it’s kind of streaky–it’ll look cool that way.
- Place bowl in fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Putting Together the Ninja Brownie Cookie Dough Bites
- Using your cooled muffin tin, place one brownie in the tin as if it had just come out of the oven. Just one though.
- Next, grab 2 tablespoons-full of cookie dough and place it in the muffin tin on top of the brownie, mushing the cookie dough down on top of the brownie until it’s like a layer on top.
- Place another brownie on top of the cookie dough, mushing it down to join with the cookie dough.
- Turn the muffin tin over with your hand over the brownie-cookie dough-brownie and get it out of the tin.
- Place a layer of red food coloring over the cookie dough.
- Place 2 chocolate chips strategically, making sure to place them close enough that they can be seen on one side together as if they were eyes.
- The end. Or is it? They’re ninjas, so you never quite know with them…
