Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oat flour (use certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 cup almond flour (I use bob’s red mill)
- 2 tbsp starch like corn or arrowroot
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 scant tsp salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate or dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 2 tbsp flax seed meal
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup non dairy milk (use 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp non dairy milk if making with brownie mix)
- 1/4 cup oil or use applesauce
- 1/3 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate chips to add to batter
Preparation
Step 1
Make the brownie mix: Add the flours and sugar to a blender and blend well. Move the flour around as it can get packed under the blender blade. Add the chocolate, cocoa, and other dry ingredients through flax seed meal. Blend again until well combined. Move the flour around again and check under the blender blade. Add vanilla and blend for a few seconds. Transfer to a quart mason jar. Add 1/3 cup chocolate chips to the jar and store.
To make the brownie from mix:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a brownie pan by lining with parchment. Empty the mix jar into a bowl. Add 1/4 oil and 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp non dairy milk and mix until well combined. Drop the thick batter onto the pan. Press using a spatula to even it out to almost fill the pan. Bake for 25 to 27 minutes. Cool for atleast 20 minutes before slicing.
To make the brownie from scratch:
Heat the non dairy milk until just about boiling. Add flax meal, vanilla and sugar into 1/2 cup non dairy milk. Add the chocolate and let it sit for a minute, Mix until melted and smooth. In another bowl, whisk rest of the dry ingredients. Add the whisked dry to the wet. Mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips into the batter. Drop the thick batter onto the pan. Press using a spatula to even it out to almost fill the pan. Bake for 25 to 27 minutes. Cool for atleast 20 minutes before slicing.
Variation: add chopped walnuts to batter before baking.
Do not over bake. The brownies are done when toothpick from 1 inch from the sides comes out clean. The center might be gooey, it will continue to cook and set outside.
