Simply Delicious Chocolate Brownies
Yield: 9 Servings
Time: 30 mins
Equipment
Baking tin of choice - we like to use a 20cm square tin.
Stainless Steel bowl.
Kitchen Whisk - it is really easy to whisk by hand, but you could also use an electric one if preferred.
Kitchen Scale
Glass Jug
Parchment paper
Ingredients:
40g Hot chocolate mix - we use our own blend which is available in the store online. But you can use your favourite blend. This is a good way to introduce different flavours if you have a flavoured hot chocolate mix.
70g Self Raising Gluten-Free Flour - we use Dove's Farm.
1/4 tsp. gluten-free baking powder.
50g unrefined cane sugar
30g dark chocolate - broken down into chunks
25g vegan margarine
100ml of dairy free milk (we like to use KOKO)
Optional extras:
1 tsp instant coffee
20g chocolate chips
Any other items you want to through in there! - Edible of course. We use pureed vegetables to add extra moisture and flavour.

In the image above, we decorated it with melted chocolate, biscuit crumbs and raspberries,
Method:
Line your baking tin with parchment paper. It makes it so much easier to get the brownies out later and also easier to clean! I like to use clips to hold the paper in place.
Heat up the dark chocolate, vegan margarine (and coffee granules if using) in the glass jug for 30 seconds. Place this to one side to allow the chocolate to melt.
Sift and mix all the dry ingredients (hot chocolate mix, gluten-free flour, baking powder, sugar and chocolate chips if using), together into one bowl and create a well in the middle.
Add the wet ingredients (chocolate mix and dairy-free milk) into the middle and mix well to create a smooth batter.
Spread the mixture evenly into the baking tin.
Bake in the oven at 170 degrees for 12 mins. - It should still be a little gooey on the inside. It will continue to bake for a few more minutes after you take it out of the oven.
Leave to cool for 5 mins. Then either indulge straight away, or allow to cool further and decorate with additional melted chocolate and other treats.
TIP: Use parchment paper on top of your mixture to get a flatter bake.
