Ingredients
- 1½ cups / 180 grams all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup/ 100 grams cane sugar
- 1 cup/ 200 grams coconut sugar
- 3 tbsp ground flax seed
- 9 tbs milk
- ½ cup cup / 40 grams cacao powder
- 100 grams dark chocolate (I used Lindt Excellence 70%)
- 2 tsp espresso powder
- 10 tbsp/ 140 grams plant based butter with salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup walnuts - chopped + extra for scattering on top
- ⅓ cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare a 8x8 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- To make the egg replacement, combine the ground flax seed and the milk to a small bowl, stir to combine and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes, stir occasionally during this time.
- In a small bowl combine the flour and baking powder and whisk until well combined, set aside
- Once the flax egg is ready, add to a large bowl along with both sugars and whisk for 1 minute. Set aside and prepare to melt the chocolate and butter by placing both along with the cacao powder and espresso powder to a small pot and place over medium heat on the stove top, stirring occasionally until the chocolate and butter have melted and all ingredients have combined.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the sugar/flax mixture along with the vanilla and whisk for 1 minute, making sure everything is well combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold in until almost combined, add in the walnuts and chocolate chips and continue folding until just combined and no more flour is seen.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle some walnut and chocolate pieces on top (if you choose) and bake for 28 minutes minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a small amount of batter on it. Let the brownies completely cool in the pan. Remove and keep in an airtight container. Will last 5 to 7 days.
