Servings: 22 brownies (or 80 minies :))
- 1.5 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 3 tbsp water
- 130 g flour
- 150 g ground almonds
- 50 g cacao powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (=natron bicarbonate)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 130 g dark chocolate
- 90 g vegan butter or margarine
- 365 g sugar
- 1 dl almond milk
- 65 g pecan nuts
Mix the ground flax seeds with the water and set aside.
In a large bowl mix flour, ground almonds, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
Finely chop the chocolate and melt two thirds of it with the butter. It's quickest in a microwave but on a low heat in a pan works too.
Stir the sugar, almond milk and soaked flax seeds into the melted chocolate and butter mixture.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix well. It will be very dry but that's what we're looking for!
Chop the pecan nuts and mix them into the dough with the remaining chocolate bits.
Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it with parchment paper to spread the brownies out to their desired thickness (won't change with baking) using your hands.
Bake the brownies at 180°C for 30 minutes. Then let them cool for 1.5 hours. I am sorry to say that having this patience is really important because else they won't hold together.
Cut into your desired size and enjoy :)
