The best Vegan chocolate brownie recipe
Seriously indulgent Double chocolate vegan brownies with blueberries & walnuts - you need to try this recipe!
We asked Jo for an extra special recipe for this weekend, and she did not disappoint!
Ingredients
2 flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax seeds & 3 tbsp water per “egg”) (2 regular eggs can be used for non-vegan bakers)
1 medium courgette, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup dairy free butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
2 tbsp cacao powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup buckwheat flour (this makes the recipe gluten free, although regular plain flour can be used.)
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup fresh blueberries
2 heaped tbsp chopped walnuts
Whole walnuts & icing sugar to decorate
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Prepare the flax eggs by mixing the flax seed and water together and set aside.
Blend the courgette in a food processor until it’s really broken down with no large lumps remaining.
In a large bowl mix together the courgette, flax eggs, butter, sugars & vanilla.
In another bowl mix together the flour, cacao powder, baking powder & salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring well to remove any lumps.
Fold in the chocolate chips, blueberries and chopped walnuts.
Pour the mixture into a tray lined with baking paper, decorate with whole walnuts and bake for around 25 mins.
Dust with icing sugar and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
