Ingredients
1 / 2
cups butter
1
tablespoon oil
1
cup brown sugar
2
tablespoons chia seeds
1
tablespoon instant coffee
1
individual egg
1 / 2
cups all purpose flour
1
cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 / 4
teaspoons salt
1
teaspoon baking powder
1 / 2
cups dark chocolate chunks
Steps
Step 1
Start by hydrating the chia seeds in a small bowl with 10 tablespoons of water for 15 min. IMPORTANT: the chia seeds give the brownie a very crunchy texture mixed with the fudginess that I personally love, but if you prefer not having that just blend the seeds before adding water)
Step 2
Dissolve the instant coffee in 60 ml of hot water. Once cooled down add it to the hydrated chia.
Step 3
Cover an 8-inch square baking pan with wax paper to easily remove the brownies after baked. Set aside.
Step 4
Mix in a medium size bowl the hot melted butter, sugar and oil together and whisk them well until very creamy. Add the eggs and chia+coffee, mixing them well.
• Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and carefully mix the dry and wet ingredients together. If you over mix them it'll create a more cake like texture since there'll be more air into the batter. I also recommend adding chocolate chunks to the mixture at this point.
Step 5
Pour and distribute the batter evenly in the prepared pan
Step 6
Bake for 15 minutes (depending on your oven), if you bake it too long it won't have the same creamy texture.
Step 7
Remove from the oven wait a few minutes before serving. I also recommend refrigerating it and having it cold the next day
