Description

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons lukewarm water
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
• 1 cup sorghum flour
• ½ cup oat flour
• 1¼ cup coconut sugar or organic cane sugar (use 1 cup to make these less sweet)
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup almond, soy, or rice milk
• ¼ cup brewed espresso (2 ounces, or 2 shots) or very strongly brewed coffee
• ⅓ cup safflower, grapeseed, canola, or melted coconut oil
• ⅓ cup applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup vegan dark chocolate chunks or chips

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F and lightly oil and flour an 8-inch square baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the flax seeds and warm water. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, espresso/coffee, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and the flaxseed mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until theyre combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the brownies.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie center emerges with just a couple crumbs. Start checking the brownies at the 22 minute mark, just to be safe: if theyre burning at the edges or getting very firm in the middle, use a toothpick to check. You want to avoid overcooking for a perfectly moist, chewy texture!
• Transfer the baking dish to a wire cooling rack and allow the brownies to cool for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
