Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup ground flax seed meal
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate almond butter (such as Tutti Fokkennuts or any chocolate nut butter)
- 1/2 cup soy milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Mix-ins and Topping
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
- Chopped almonds (for topping)
- Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×9 or 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseed meal, dark chocolate almond butter, soy milk, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, well-combined batter.
- Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped almonds and a few extra dark chocolate chunks on top of the batter for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Finish and Serve: Just before slicing, sprinkle the brownies lightly with sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor. Slice into squares and enjoy your healthy vegan double chocolate brownies!
Notes
- Use any plant-based milk to suit your preference or dietary needs.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with agave or another natural sweetener if preferred.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Ensure not to overbake to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
