Who knew vegan could look & taste this decadent! These brownies are the perfect dessert if you’re after something rich, chocolatey and all round delicious. We think the inclusion of Vego vegan chocolate bars makes this an absolute standout! Vego bars are organic, vegan, GF and fair-trade! Top this brownie with a scoop of vegan nice cream and it’s sure to be a hit.

Ingredients:

• 2 x large VEGO chocolate bars
• 1 cup OWN blanched almond meal
• 1 cup OWN wholemeal spelt flour
• ½ cup OWN cacao
• ½ cup OWN coconut sugar
• 2 x chia eggs (2tbsp chia mixed with 6 tbsp water – leave for 10 mins)
• ½ cup OWN coconut oil (melted)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• ½ cup Nutty Bruce coconut almond milk
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp vanilla paste

Method:

1. Pre heat oven 180 degrees and line a square baking tin
2. Prep chia eggs and set aside
3. Roughly chop one vego bar and combine in bowl with almond meal, flour, cacao, coconut sugar & baking powder
4. Add wet ingredients to dry mixture and stir until well combined
5. Pour mixture into lined baking tin and top with second vego bar (press pieces in until the mixture surrounds them)
6. Place in oven for 20 minutes or until just cooked through (centre should be very fudgey and gooey
