The Brownie Quest Brownies: Attempt I
An experimental recipe, scored a respectable 8.5/10. Dense and fudgy, great even a few days late. Sadly, no crackly top :(
Servings: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 8 oz baking chocolate bar
- 1.5 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds (prepackaged vegan egg replacement powder will also work)
- 6 tbsp water
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Grease an 8" square baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Make egg replacement: Put 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds and 6 tbsp of water into a small bowl. Mix, and let sit. (You can also use packaged egg replacer if you prefer.)
- Melt the baking chocolate bar and butter a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Using a large spoon, beat the sugar and salt into the chocolate mixture.
- Beat in the flax egg.
- Add the flour and mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool for at least 10 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting or removing brownies from pan.
