How to make Fudge-Tastic Organic, Gluten-Free and Vegan Brownies
Mix 7g of flaxseed powder with 4 tbsps of water and 1 tsp of coffee powder, if using. Set aside for at least 20 minutes.
Line an 8x8 baking tray with parchment paper, leaving extra at the ends for ease of removal. Preheat the oven to 175°C.
Sift the chickpea flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a large bowl.
Heat 88 mL of water in a pan until hot but not boiling. Add 66g of raw or cane sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the coconut sugar to the simple syrup.
Heat 75 ml of coconut oil in another pan until hot but not boiling. Add 50g of vegan chocolate and stir until melted.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Add the vanilla extract and give it one last stir. The batter will be slightly thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and bake at 175°C for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Cool the brownies in the tray for 30 minutes, then remove and let them cool on a stand for approximately 2 hours.

FAQS
How do I make vegan brownies without eggs?
You can make vegan brownies without eggs by using flaxseed as a binding agent. In this recipe, mix 7g of powdered flaxseed with 4 tablespoons of water and let it sit for at least 20 minutes to create a flax egg. This will help hold your brownies together while keeping them vegan.
What are some gluten-free substitutes for chickpea flour in brownie recipes?
If you don't have chickpea flour on hand, you can substitute it with gluten-free all-purpose flour. Just ensure that the blend you choose is suitable for baking to achieve the right texture in your brownies.
How should I store leftover vegan brownies?
To store leftover vegan brownies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.
What can I pair with fudge brownies for a dessert platter?
Fudge brownies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vegan ice cream or a drizzle of coconut cream. You can also serve them with fresh berries or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor boost. These pairings enhance the fudgy texture and rich taste of the brownies.
Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to these vegan brownies?
Absolutely! You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, or even vegan chocolate chips to the brownie batter for added texture and flavor. Just fold them in gently before pouring the batter into the baking tray.
