Introduction
These chocolate brownies are deliciously fudgy. If you prefer, you can omit the sea salt or try adding some chopped nuts for variation. The flaxseeds act as a binder.
Ingredients
| 2 tbsp | ground flaxseeds |
| 150g | dark chocolate chips or chocolate, broken into small pieces (70% cocoa solids) |
| 125g | vegan spread, suitable for baking |
| 200g | golden caster sugar |
| 100g | plain flour |
| Basics: | |
| Salt |
Essential kit
You will need: a hand-held electric whisk and an 18–20cm square cake tin lined with baking paper.
Method
Heat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/350ºF/Gas mark 4.
Grease and line the base of an 18–20cm square cake tin with baking paper.
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseeds with 5 tablespoons of cold water, stir well and set to one side.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand-held electric whisk, beat together the spread and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Whisk in the chocolate mixture and flax ‘eggs’ and beat until well combined, then using a metal spoon, stir in the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Pour into the prepared tin, sprinkle with a little extra salt, if you like, and bake for 20 minutes until just set – the centre will still be slightly gooey. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. When completely cold, remove the baking paper and cut into squares.
