Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons ground flax seed
- 9 Tablespoons strong coffee 1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon - see notes
- 1/2 cup vegan butter sticks - not tub
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips 1/2 for melting plus 1/2 cup for mixing (and more for sprinkling)
- 1 cup organic white sugar
- 1 cup organic brown sugar packed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare flax egg. Mix together the hot coffee and ground flaxseed. Set aside for 10 miniutes.
- Preheat oven to 350° and prepare a 9x9 pan with parchment paper, allowing for a couple of inches to hang over two sides. (See photo in the blog post.)
- Microwave 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips along with the 1/2 vegan butter on high for one minute. Give it a stir. If the chips are not yet melted then continuing microwaving for up to 30 seconds more in 15-second increments. Set aside.
- Mix together the dry ingredients, making sure the brown sugar clumps and cocoa powder clumps are broken up.
- Add in the flax egg, melted chocolate, and vanilla. Mix together until all dry ingredients have been moistened.
- Pour into the prepared pan, spreading smoothly.
- (Optional) Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top for a finished pro look.
- Put the brownie pan onto a baking sheet and put it in the oven.
- Cook for 40 minutes. The brownies will not look done. Take them out anyway!
- After 20 minutes, using the sides of the parchment, lift the brownies out of the pan in one piece and onto a cooling rack. Allow to fully cool - about 2 hours. Cut into 16 squares.
Notes
You will be using nine Tablespoons of liquid for your flax egg. Just an FYI - 9 Tablespoons is 1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon.
If you don't want to use coffee as an ingredient, use warm water instead. They won't be quite as rich. Consider using decafinated coffee if that is your concern.
