vegan brownies

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (or a megga exx mix)
• 6 tbsp water
• 225g vegan chocolate 
• 200g sugar
• 115g vegan butter, melted
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 95g plain flour 
• 30g cocoa powder 
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ bag of chocolate drops D&D and extra melted chocolate to decorate

Serves: 9 brownies

For: lactose free, dairy free, egg free, vegan

Recipe: 

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Line square baking tray with greaseproof paper.
3. Make the flax egg: with a fork, mix the ground flaxseeds with the water in a small bowl, and set aside for at least 10 mins to gel. You can also use megga exx mix!
4. Chop the chocolate into 1cm chunks. Melt half in a microwave (heat in 15 sec bursts, stirring between, until melted).
5. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar and vegan butter with a whisk. Then add the flax eggs, melted chocolate, and vanilla, and whisk until well-combined.
6. Into the bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, and fold with a spatula until combined (don’t overmix!). Then add in the left over chocolate pieces and mix.
7. Pour the mix into the baking tray and smooth out.
8. Bake for 30-35 mins, until a knife inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool for at least 30 mins before decorating with extra melted chocolate and the Doisy & Dams D&Ds.
