Method
Brownies. So good you'll need one for each hand. Made of chocolate and decorated with chocolate, plus bright enough to lighten the greyest of days, these squidgey treats are a yes from us. Get in. Made by our pal @thehecticvegan.
Makes 9 brownies and takes a total of 50 mins.
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Line an 8-inch square baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- 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.
- Chop the chocolate into ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) chunks. Melt half in a microwave (heat in 15 sec bursts, stirring between, until melted).
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the mix into the baking tray and smooth out.
- Bake for 30-35 mins, until a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Cool for at least 30 mins before decorating with extra melted chocolate and the Doisy & Dam D&Ds.
- Enjoy!
