Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to thicken. This will be your flax egg.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the flax egg and mix until incorporated.
Step 7
Fold in the chopped vegan chocolate or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and spread evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges look set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your vegan, gluten-free brownies!
