Directions

Step 1 Prepare chia or flax eggs by mixing ground up seeds with 3 tbsp of water in a small bowl. Set aside to activate.
Step 2 Pre-heat the oven to 180° C / 350° F. Line a 20 cm x 20 cm / 8 inch x 8 inch baking tin with baking parchment. Make the baking parchment stick out of the tin so that you’re able to remove the brownies from the tin a little easier.
Step 3 Weigh your flour, add baking soda and whisk the two together with a hand egg whisk. Set aside.
Step 4 Boil some water
Step 5 While the water is boiling, chop your chocolate very finely. Put it into a big mixing bowl, with cocao powder.
Step 6 Pour 100 ml / 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp boiling water into the chocolate, cacao powder and salt mixture. Stir with a spoon so that chocolate melts in the hot liquid. Don’t add any more water.
Step 7 Add in the sugar, flax egg (by this time it should have turned all sticky) and oil or melted vegan butter. Using a hand mixer, blend the mixture until it’s smooth.
Step 8 It’s time to add the flour and baking soda mixture. Add a little at a time and stir it into the chocolate mixture with a spoon. Do not be tempted to use an electric mixer as it will overwork the batter. The batter will be super thick so you may need to use your hands towards the end.
Step 9 Transfer the batter into the prepared baking tin. Smooth it with a spatula and decorate with fresh raspberries.
Step 10 Bake on the middle shelf for about 22-24 minutes
Step 11 Serve and enjoy
