Serving 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 160 g all-purpose flour (1 cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 80 g Ceremonial Cacao powder (⅔ cup)
- 250 g Coconut sugar (1+¼ cups)
- 1 Teaspoon Baking powder
- 120 g Vegan butter melted (½ cup)
- 160 ml Unsweetened almond milk (½ cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 g Dairy-free chocolate chips (around ⅔ cup) optional
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F (or 160°C/325°F if you’re using a fan or convection oven). Line an 8×10-inch tin with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, Cacao powder, coconut sugar and baking powder.
- Add the melted margarine, the almond milk and the vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth. The batter will be very thick.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
- Transfer the thick batter to your tin and spread it out evenly. Top with the leftover chocolate chips.
- Bake for 22 minutes. They will seem under-baked in the middle but they’ll firm up once cold.
- Let them cool in the tin for around 30 minutes, then put them in the fridge for 2 hours to set firm.
- Once chilled, remove them from the tin and cut into squares.
