with parchment paper.<\/li><li>In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.<\/li><li>In another bowl, mix the plant-based milk,

smooth.<\/li><li>Add the vanilla extract and crushed vegan graham crackers, mixing until well combined.<\/li><li>Add plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a spreadable
