Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 2/3 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup tutti Fokkennuts dark chocolate almond butter (or any chocolate nut butter)
- 1/2 cup soy milk (use any plant-based milk for vegan option)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (use honey if not vegan)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
Toppings
- Chopped almonds (for topping)
- Extra dark chocolate chunks (for topping)
- Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseed meal, chocolate almond butter, soy milk, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a smooth batter.
- Add Chocolate Chunks: Gently fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter to evenly distribute the chocolate pieces throughout the mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Top the batter with chopped almonds and a few extra dark chocolate chunks for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center of the brownies is set but still moist. Avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.
- Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. This will help them firm up for easier slicing.
- Transfer and Finish: Carefully lift the parchment paper to transfer the brownies onto a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Serve: Slice into squares and enjoy your healthy vegan double chocolate brownies!
Notes
- You can substitute the chocolate almond butter with any chocolate nut butter of your choice.
- For a non-vegan version, replace maple syrup with honey and use dairy milk instead of soy milk.
- Make sure not to overbake to retain the fudgy texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Adding sea salt at the end enhances the chocolate’s richness and balances sweetness.
