Ingredients

Brownies

1 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs

Frosting

6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons whole cream
1 1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
6 ounces milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Mix together the butter, vanilla and cocoa powder until smooth in a big bowl
Mix the dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl then add then to the butter mixture and stir until well combined
Add the eggs and mix until fully incorporated and smooth
Grease a 9x13 baking pan, pour the batter into the pan and bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only crumbs (better to pull out early then overcook)
Cool the brownies for 20 minutes before frosting
To make the frosting (do this while the brownies are COOLING, NOT BAKING) combine 6 T melted butter, 1 1/3 C sugar, cream and milk in a pot and cook over low to medium heat
Bring it to a boil then reduce heat to low and add mini marshmallows and 6 ounces milk chocolate chips
Stir until smooth then pour immediately over the cooled brownies, do not allow the frosting to cool first
Wait until frosting is set to slice brownies

Notes

Storage and Freezing

Storing - Let these decadent lunch lady brownies cool to room temperature before covering them with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Store them on the counter, lasting 3-4 days.

Freezing - Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. So whenever you need a brownie kick, you can take them out of the freezer, let them thaw, and boom! You have brownies.
