Vegan Rye Crinkle Brownies
Servings 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rye flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- scant ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 flax egg - 1 tablespoon ground flax seed + 2 tablespoon water see note below
- ½ cup aquafaba
- 1 ¼ cup raw cane sugar Florida Crystals is vegan.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup oil - coconut, olive, etc.
- 100 g vegan chocolate bar I use 90% cocoa solids.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 baking pan or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a bowl sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Whisk to thoroughly incorporate and set aside.
- Heat chocolate in the microwave in 20 second intervals stirring between each until just melted. Set aside to cool briefly.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, a hand mixer works as well, combine aquafaba and sugar. Whip until mixture reaches the ribbon stage. It will be white, fluffy and when you lift the whisk it should leave a ribbon that holds it shape on the surface for a moment.
- Add oil, flax egg and vanilla to melted chocolate and stir to combine.
- With the mixer running, drizzle chocolte mixture into whipped aquafaba until thoroughly combined.
- Switch to a spatula and add dry ingredients to aquafaba mixture and fold in until just combined.
- Spread batter in an even layer in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25- 30 minutes or until tops are dry and a toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing. You can cut 16 small brownies as I do or 9 larger ones.
