Yummy Gooey Vegan Brownies

I have made a vegan brownie that doesn't taste like shit.2 minI am one of those lucky people who have a lot of food intolerances. Dairy and eggs make me feel the need to cry and an abundance of gluten makes my tummy hate me. As a result I miss out on a lot of fun treats and indulgences. However, I have finally perfected a vegan brownie recipe that is so rich and scrumptious you don't even realise there are no eggs. This recipe makes 12 cup-cake sized brownies.

For this recipe you'll need:3 Tablespoons of Flaxseed (optional: I just wanted a little omega-3)

1 3/4 cups of Rice Flour

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

7 tablespoons of 100% cocoa powder

4 Ounces of 60% or higher grade Chocolate

1 teaspoon of instant coffee

1/4 Boiling water

1 Teaspoon of Salt

1 cup of brown sugar

4 Table spoons of vegetable oil

1 1/2 table spoons of vanilla extract

Almonds.. As much as you please.

1 twelve-hole muffin tinCoconut Oil

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Mix together all of the dry ingredients except for the almonds in a large mixing bowl        (rice flour, salt, sugar, cocoa powder etc.).

3. Cut the chocolate up into chunks and add to the dry ingredients.4. Add the wet ingredients (vegetable oil, boiling water etc.)  

Boiling water helps the chocolate to get to that gooey lava-centre stage quickly.

5. Halve the almonds and add them to the brownie batter.

6. Stir until the mixture is a smooth consistency much like a cake batter.

7. Lubricate the muffin tin cups with coconut oil using two fingers to coat the sides and base of the cups.

8. Fill each cup of the muffin tin with the batter to about 3/4 the volume of the cup.

9. More almonds may be added to the top of each brownie.10. Put the brownies into the oven to bake for 15-17 minutes or until the top is smooth and just beginning to crackWhen finished, the brownies should be chewy with a gooey chocolatey centre.

11. Leave them to rest for ten minutes.
12. Garnish with icing sugar or chopped mint (optional)
