Vegan Brownies

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 2 cups sugar** Coconut sugar or Vegan Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup organic pastry flour 
1/2 whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup Almond flour
  • 3/4 cup dutch process cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp flax seeds ground*
  • 6 Tbsp hot water
  • 2 Tbsp hemp seed sprinkled on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8 x 8 pan.
  • In a double boiler or a bowl set atop a pot of gently simmering water, melt the coconut oil, chocolate squares and vanilla together.
  • Mix ½ cup of hot water and stir into the coconut/chocolate mixture. Add sugar and remove from heat. The sugars will dissolve a bit but you don’t need to completely dissolve it.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flours, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In yet another bowl (small one), mix the flax seeds and 6 Tbsp of hot water, allow to sit for 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine the chocolate/coconut oil mixture with the flour mixture and stir to incorporate. Add the thickened flax and stir that in as well.
  • Pour the batter into the greased baking pan sprinkle with hemp seeds and bake for 30-40 minutes.
  • When finished, remove the brownies from the oven, set atop a cooling rack and get busy somewhere else. These need to be completely cooled before consuming. If you attempt to eat them before they are properly cooled, they will crumble. When they are properly cooled, you can’t even tell they are eggless, I promise!
