Ad : (0:10)

Room temperature water : You will need some

room temperature water to mix with the
Waxseeds to make a vegan eggs replacement.
Ground Waxseed : Flaxseed mixed with water
creates the perfect egg replacement for this
recipe, as the Wax is creates a really moist and
chewy brownie. Flax ‘eggs’ are my favourite egg
alternative for brownies, doughnuts and
mufNns.

Caster sugar : Sugar adds sweetness and also

helps to bind the brownie. You can use caster
sugar (Nne white sugar) or golden caster sugar.

Dairy-free dark chocolate : I like to use a 60%

and above dark chocolate to make the brownie
super rich and Wavourful. My favourite
chocolate is the Dr Oatker cooking chocolate.

Dairy-free butter / margarine : You can either

use a vegan block butter or dairy-free
margarine for this recipe. The butter will be
melted so it doesn’t really matter which you
use.

Vanilla extract : Adding in a splash of vanilla

helps to bring out the rich Wavour of the
chocolate and give a subtle undertone of
vanilla. It’s an optional extra, but I would
suggest adding it in!

Gluten-free plain Wour : As we don’t need the

brownies to rise unlike cake and cupcakes, use
a gluten-free plain Wour (gluten-free all purpose
Wour). My favourite is the Doves Farm GF Plain
Flour.

Baking Powder : Baking powder is a raising

agent and helps to lift up the brownies and add
a fudgey, cakey texture. You don’t want to leave
this ingredient out!

Cocoa powder : To help bring out the chocolate

in the brownie and add more fudgyness, cocoa
powder is a must!

Tips to make the best gluten-free

vegan brownies

Cool fully before cutting

This brownie is gooey and fudgey and cuts
beautifully when cooled fully at room
temperature. It’s even better when you store it
in the fridge overnight and cut it the next day.
This way, it helps to maintain all the moisture
and creates an ultra chewy brownie.

Use good quality dark chocolate

Using chocolate that’s not of a good quality is
one of the very Nrst mistakes that you can
make when making brownies. I like to use 70%
and above dairy-free dark chocolate to ensure
my brownies turn out rich and indulgent every
single time.

Avoid over baking the brownies

You want to bake the brownies for the time
allocated. If you over bake the brownies, they
may loose the chewy and fudgey centre and
may become cakey.

Don’t over mix the brownie batter

Avoid over mixing the batter. This may result in
a crumbly brownie, due to the over mixing. You
want the ingredients to be ‘just’ combined, so
that no Wour remains.

Don’t leave out the baking powder

The raising agent is needed to help lift the
brownie and creates hight and a thick texture. if
you leave it out, it can result in a thinner
brownie.

Make sure they are cold before

cutting
Due to the chocolate inside the brownie, when
they Nrst come out of the oven, they will be
super moist and gooey due to the melted
chocolate. You want to allow them to cool at
room temperature before storing in the fridge
before cutting them into squares. If you try to
cut them while they are warm, it will be a
gooey mess.

160g of dairy-free butter / margarine

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

210g of gluten-free plain Wour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

80g of cocoa powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Method

1 Preheat oven to 180°C Fan and line a 8×8

inch square baking tin with grease proof
paper.

2 In a small bowl, add in the Waxseeds and

water, stir to combine then set aside for
10 minutes. It will thicken and turn jelly-
like.

3 Fill a small saucepan 1/4 full with water

and place on the hob over medium heat.
Add 3/4 of the dairy-free chocolate into a
heat proof bowl. Place the bowl over the
pan, creating a bain-marie. Allow the
chocolate to melt, stirring with a heat
proof spatula. Remove from the heat and
allow to cool for a few minutes. You can
also melt the chocolate in the microwave.

4 Add the dairy-free butter / margarine into

a saucepan and melt. Pour in the sugar
and whisk with a hand whisk to combine.
Pour the butter and sugar mixture into a
medium sized mixing bowl.

5 Add the Wax ‘egg’ into the butter and

sugar, along with the melted chocolate
and vanilla. Whisk to combine.

6 Sift in the cocoa powder, baking powder

and gluten-free Wour. Fold the batter
together until combined.

7 Pour the brownie batter into the lined tin,

top with the remaining 1/4 chopped
chocolate and bake for 25-28 minutes.
Once baked, remove from the oven and
allow to cool at room temperature for at
least 3 hours.

8 Once cool, transfer into the fridge to set

the chocolate fully. You can enjoy it warm
in a bowl with some ice-cream or allow to
set up in the fridge for a Nrmer, fudgey
brownie.

NOTES

To store: Store the brownies in the

fridge in a sealed container. Best
enjoyed within a week of making.

When these brownies come out of the

oven, they’ll be super gooey in the
middle. Allow them to cool completely
for about 2-4 hours, before you slice
into them to give them a chance to set
up. They’ll continue to Nrm up the
longer they’re out of the oven. If you
still prefer a Nrmer brownie, store
them in the fridge.

Serving option: Sprinkle some sea salt

over the brownies before serving. So
delicious!
