Not to toot my own horn here but these just might be the most delicious brownies I've ever made! Perfectly gooey and crispy with a great texture from all of the oreos and chocolate chunks mixed in throughout. I served these at my birthday these year and they sure were a crowd pleaser, so if you're looking for a quick treat to make for a party, dinner or other occasion give this one a go!
Ingredients
150g dark vegan chocolate
100g unsalted vegan butter
3 tbsp (45ml) ground flaxseed + 100ml water
100g brown sugar
200g granulated sugar
40g cocoa powder
180g all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla extract
Toppings and mix ins:
100g vegan chocolate
100g oreo cookies (or a similar alternative) a few extra oreo cookies + extra chocolate chunks for topping
Method:
Start by combining your flax meal and water and leave to rest for a few minutes. Melt your chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pot of boiling water. Whisk your flax mixture in with your sugars and gradually add your salt, vanilla and chocolate + butter mixture. Sift cocoa powder, baking powder and flour and fold into the wet mixture. Roughly crush 100g Oreo cookies and chop 100g vegan chocolate. Fold into the brownie batter. Add the brownie batter into a square 20x20cm pan lined with baking paper. Break up a few oreo cookies and chop some extra chocolate and spread evenly across the brownie and press them slightly into the batter to avoid them falling off during baking. Make sure the final brownie is level. Add to a preheated oven and bake at 200C for approximately 20-25 min or until a toothpick comes out clean(ish) (obviously there will be loads of melted chocolate chips in the brownie but do your best to see if it’s mostly cooked through. Shorter baking time will result in a softer and more gooey brownie, so feel free to adjust baking time to your liking! Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
