Peanut butter brownies, No butter, No dairy, No refined sugar, No refined flour

Peanut butter

It is a spread made from roasted peanuts. It comes in two varieties : crunchy, with some coarsely ground peanuts and creamy, with a smooth texture. The butter is salty, pairs well with bread, crackers and is frequently used in baking cookies, cakes and brownies. A dab of this butter on banana is yumm!

Flax egg

A vegan alternative to eggs is flax eggs. It is prepared by combining ground flaxseed with water. A gelatinous mixture results when it is allowed to sit for a few minutes, which can be used instead of egg. The rule of thumb is that 1 tablespoon of flax with 3 tablespoons of water equalizes an egg.

The ingredients are...

Flaxseed, ground - 2 Tbsp + 5 Tbsp water

Oats flour - 1 cup

Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup

Baking powder - 1/2 tsp

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Almond milk -  3/4 cup

Peanut butter, unsweetened - 3/4 cup + additional for drizzle

Jaggery, powdered - 3/4 cup

Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Dark chocolate shavings, 99% cocoa - 2 Tbsp

 The technique...

Combine oats flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of this and add almond milk, jaggery, vanilla essence and peanut butter into it.

 

Prepare flax egg by mixing flaxseed powder with water. Keep aside for 5 minutes.

Add the thickened flax egg to into the flour bowl and intermingle everything well. Fold in the chocolate shavings.

 

Line a baking tin with baking paper. Pour the batter into it and flatten it gently with a spatula. Add a drizzle of peanut butter on top.

Preheat oven to 180C and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool. Cut into slices and enjoy!
