VEGANIZED CHOCOLATE BROWNIE
Every now and then there comes a moment when you need to celebrate. Anything. A new beginning, a closure, sun in the sky... For this one-of-a-kind brownie you really don't need much. You need good company, a bit of time, patience and preferably a freezer. 'Weird things to combine', you might think. But this is exactly what we did.
To immerse yourself in a divine chocolaty taste, you will need:
Bauck HOF mix for chocolate brownies (yes, we are this lazy, but we know how good it is!), the mix can be bought in most of bio-eco shops
200 g margarine (or experiment with adding less)
1 banana or 1 flaxseed egg
dark chocolate
100 ml plant-based drink
optional - additional baking powder to help the brownie rise to the skies even more
Preheat the oven to 175 C. Smooch the banana into a puree or prepare the flaxseed egg. Melt the margarine for easier mixing and combine all ingredients, then put the mixture in your cooking pan. You can use anything you have at home - we used a round pan, so the brownies became a chocolate cake. For the classical square shaped brownies use a baking tray with 4 corners. Bake for approx. 25 min.
To add an extra umpf to the brownies, melt a chocolate bar (we did it using the good old bain marie method, super fancy term for breaking chocolate into pieces into heatproof bowl, then putting that bowl in a pot with water and heating up the water, and with additional stirring your chocolate will be melted in almost no time), wait when the brownie cools down and then pour the chocolate on top. To achieve a super smooth layer of chocolate, put it for a few minutes in a freezer! Enjoy the brownie with a nice cup of coffee, tea and friends.
