Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Non-dairy milk (such as almond or oat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal with water to make a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth. Stir well to combine and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, and the prepared flax egg. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 10

Cut the brownies into 9 equal squares and enjoy! These brownies are best served slightly warm, optionally with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream.
