1
*If using sweetened cocoa reduce the sugar to 110g
2
Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F and lightly spray a 12 hole cupcake tin with oil
3
In a large bowl, pulse together the flax and water with a handheld blender and let sit a few minutes to become gelatinous.
4
You could use a tabletop blender but ultimately it's easier to get the mixture scraped out of a bowl....
5
Add the rest of the ingredients (not the toppings) to the bowl and puree the whole lot together
6
Taste the batter, add more sugar if you want it
7
The mixture should be slightly thicker than buttercream frosting and definitely not loose but if it's too thick add a tsp of water
8
Spoon a heaped tablespoon into each tin hole and add your toppings if you're using them
9
Bake for 24 - 26 minutes until the tops are dry and the brownies have pulled away from the sides of the tin
10
Let them cool in the tin for half an hour before gently prising them out with a spoon.
11
They'll be super fudgy inside so be careful not to break them
12
They'll keep well in a lidded container, up to 5 days and even longer in the fridge

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
