Prep Time:10 min | Cook Time: 30 min | Total Time: 40 min | Servings: 9
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 oz vegan chocolate (170 g)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup of cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTION
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Chop the chocolate into ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) pieces. Set aside half and melt the other half in a microwave-safe bowl for 45 seconds.
- Make the flax egg: combine the ground flaxseeds with the water in a small bowl and mix with a fork. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to gel.
- In a medium bowl, add the brown sugar and vegan butter and whisk until smooth. Then add the vanilla, flax eggs, and melted chocolate and whisk until well-combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and fold with a spatula until all ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix. Then, stir in the reserved chocolate pieces.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until a fork inserted in the center, comes out clean. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Slice into 9 equal-sized pieces and serve.
- Enjoy!
