Ingredients
- 1/4 cup ground chia (or ground flax)
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons water
- 2/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup cane sugar (or raw cane sugar)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt finely ground
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup crushed candy cane, for sprinkling (or vegan chocolate chips)
Directions
- Combine the ground chia and water in a bowl. Whisk to combine. Wait 10 minutes for consistency to become egg-like, and set aside. (This is your chia egg).
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line a square 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper (allowing flaps on either end for easier lifting).
- In a saucepan, melt the coconut oil, then add the cane sugar, coconut sugar and vanilla. Whisk in the chia egg to combine.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the cocoa powder and coconut flour into the bowl. Add the baking powder and the salt and mix to combine. Then, pour in the liquid mixture. Stir everything to combine, but don’t over-mix. Add the vegan chocolate chips and stir gently to combine.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared square pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle with the crushed candy canes on top.
- Bake the brownies until the edges are firm, and a toothpick inserted into the brownie comes out clean, 25 minutes. Let them cool for 10 minutes, then lift the brownies from the baking pan and cool them completely on a baking rack before cutting.
- Cut the brownies into squares and enjoy!
