Vegan Brownie

VEGAN BROWNIES by Anne

This one was a hit on our Zürich Farewell Day apéro so here's Anne recipe for a full chocolate indulgence.

I love my grandma's original brownie recipe - but whenever I run events at Bubble Yoga, I try to offer inclusive food options so that everyone can find something they like & that matches their diet preferences. So this was my first attempt at vegan brownies, & given the enthusiastic response from everyone, I think it won't be the last 🙂 I tweaked a recipe I found online, so here goes my version of it - let me know how it goes!

Ingredients:

  • 35g ground flaxseeds
  • 130ml water
  • 125g vegan butter
  • 250g sugar (I use a mix of brown sugar & coconut sugar)
  • 140g flour
  • 80g cocoa powder
  • 150g chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate (optional, I like the crunchy side of it)
  • 10cl vegan liquid cream
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Directions:

  • Place the flaxseeds in a bowl with water, stir a bit then let it sit for a while to thicken
  • Melt the butter
  • In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugars
  • Add the 'flax eggs' & mix well
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt & baking powder and stir (no need to over mix)
  • Add some cream to smoothen the whole thing
  • Add half of the chocolate chips & stir
  • Prepare the oven dish with baking paper
  • Pour the batter into the dish, smooth out the top with a spoon & add the rest of the chocolate chips on top
  • Bake for 35-40min at 175°C
  • Take them out of the over & leave to rest in the dish for about 15min (the brownies will firm up as they cool)

Slice, serve & enjoy!
