Best-ever brownie

Chef Cynthia Louise

This is the perfect plant-based brownie for the brownie connoisseur. Years in the making, and now captured for you to enjoy. It’s as much for those cooking out of a tiny oven in their van as it is for the gourmet chef who wants to surprise and delight. It’s good for you too. 

Ingredients

Makes 15–20

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a rectangular tin (about 30 x 20 cm) with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredient to the wet ingredients, along with a bit of positivity. Combine well and pour the batter into the lined tray. 
  4. Let the batter sit in the tray for 10 minutes to allow the chia to soak up the moisture.
  5. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Once done, allow to cool completely in the tray and then place in the fridge to firm up.
  6. To serve, cut into small square pieces and dust with a little cacao powder, if you like.

TIP: Also known as cacao liquor or cacao mass, cacao paste is a solid paste made from fermented cacao nibs. You can find it in select stores, such as The Source Bulk Foods, or online.

#POSITIVITY

Positivity is celebration of the perfection of life. “My positive focus is an alkaline focus – it supports me in endless ways.”
