Servings 24 brownie bites
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon ground flax meal or ground chia
- 6 tablespoon water
- 1 C all-purpose flour
- ⅓ C dutch process cocoa powder
- ½ C vegan butter
- ⅔ C vegan chocolate chips
- ¾ C organic cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ C walnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix together flax meal and water and set aside for 10 minutes to thicken.
- Meanwhile, sift together the flour and cocoa powder and stir to combine well.
- Melt vegan butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. As soon as it's melted, remove from heat and stir in ⅓ cup of the vegan chocolate chips. Stir until they completely melt and you have a smooth mixture. Add organic cane sugar and vanilla extract to the butter and chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
- Add this to the flour and cocoa mixture. Also add in the flax mixture, another ⅓ cup of vegan chocolate chips, and walnut pieces. Fold together until combined.
- Add approximately 1 tablespoon of batter to each mini muffin cup. You'll need 2 mini muffin pans to make 24 brownie bites. There's no need to grease or oil the pans, as long as they're non-stick.
- Bake for approximately 14 minutes. Bake time may vary. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- You can also spread this brownie batter into a 9" x 9" square baking pan and bake for 30 minutes. I would line it with parchment paper just so it's easier to lift out and cut into squares.
