Vegan Mexican Cacao Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in water, vegetable oil and vanilla; mix until well blended. Spread evenly in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and 6 tablespoons (89 milliliters) water until mixture has an egg-like consistency. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 9-inch-square pan with coconut oil. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together garbanzo flour, cacao powder, tapioca flour, cinnamon, xanthan gum, sea salt and baking soda. Add almond meal and stir until fully incorporated.
• In a clean, dry metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt chile-infused dark chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Whisk the flaxseed "egg" again, then place in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add sugar, vegan butter, almond milk and vanilla and stir on low. Gradually increase speed to medium-high and continue beating until mixture is fully combined and mostly smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and beat for 15 seconds.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold with a rubber spatula until fully combined and streak-free. The batter should be thick and gooey, but if it's too dry, add additional almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen. Fold about 3/4 of the chocolate chips into the batter, then spread it evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips.
• Bake until a fork inserted in the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes; do not overcook. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool to room temperature.
