Ingredients

• For the Flax Seed Egg:

• 6 tablespoons coffee (room temperature)

• 3 tablespoons ground flax or ground chia seeds

• For the Wet Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup vegan butter

• ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips, divided

• ¾ cup coconut sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• For the Dry Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (Dutch-process)

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

• Prepare the flax egg: In a small bowl, whisk together the coffee and ground flax (or chia) seeds. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
• Melt the chocolate & butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the vegan butter and ½ cup of the chocolate chips together using a microwave (in 20-second intervals, stirring in between) or over a double boiler until smooth.
• Mix the wet ingredients: Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and the flax mixture into the melted chocolate until well combined.
• Incorporate the dry ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
• Add remaining chocolate chips: Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for extra texture.
• Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter, spreading it evenly.
• Cook: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The less time you bake these brownies, the more cakey they will be. If you bake them a few minutes longer they will be more dense and have a more fudge-like texture.
• Cool & serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

• If you are using an 8×8 pan, the brownies will not be super thick. If you’re looking for a thicker brownie, I suggest using a smaller pan.
• The dough can be quite sticky. I use a piece of parchment paper to spread it troughout the pan.
