["Preheat oven to 375 degrees.", "Lightly spray a large baking dish (I recommend 13""x 9"") with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.", "Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until smooth, adding a small amount of non-dairy milk if necessary to blend.", "Pour batter into baking dish and bake for at least 45 minutes. If the top of the brownies begins to burn during the last 10-15 minutes of baking, drop the temperature to 350 degrees.", "Let brownies chill completely before serving, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.", "Alternatively, you can bake the brownies at 300 degrees for 1 hour and then an additional hour at 225 degrees.", "Frosting: Combine ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until smooth.
