01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the egg replacer with water until it’s fully combined. In another bowl, whisk together the rice flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the margarine with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Slowly add the egg replacer in about half-cup increments, making sure each addition blends in before adding more. Stir in the vanilla extract with the last bit of the egg replacer. Then, gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Finally, fold in the shredded yams, mixing just enough to spread them evenly.

Step 3
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4
While the brownies are still warm, mix together the turbinado sugar, cornstarch, margarine, and almond milk until smooth. Spread this glaze over the brownies—they’ll soak it up nicely. Serve them warm and enjoy!
