Equipment

  • Ramekin, small baking dish or muffin pan

Ingredients

Brownie batter

  • 1 tbsp (vegan) butter melted (15 g) sub coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp (nut) milk or water (15 g) I use unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (42 g)
  • 3 tbsp flour (21 g) gf all purpose if desired
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (12 g)
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • drop of vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Cookie dough

  • 1/2 tbsp nut/seed butter (8 g) I used almond butter
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup (10 g)
  • 2 tbsp oat flour (15 g)
  • 1/2 tbsp chocolate chips (7 g)

Instructions

  • Start by making the no-bake cookie dough: In a small bowl stir together nut butter and maple syrup. Add enough oat flour to make a non sticky dough. If it gets too dry add a drop of water at a time. (Optional) add a pinch of salt and a drop of vanilla extract.
  • Fold in chocolate chips, press into a disc between pieces of parchment and freeze to set about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease a small ramekin or baking dish.
  • Make the brownie batter: In a small bowl melt butter/oil, milk, syrup, vanilla (I used microwave 30 sec at a time) and stir to combine. Add cocoa, flour, baking powder, salt and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour into sprayed skillet/ramekin and top with pieces of frozen cookie dough (I chopped mine with a knife but you can also break apart by hand). Bake for about 15 minutes (if making in a muffin tin, cut down 1-2 minutes). It's ok if they're still a bit fudgy in the center, as over-baking will make them dry.
  • Either enjoy warm with a spoon (I confirm it’s amazing topped with ice cream) or let it cool completely ideally overnight in the fridge, slice and eat like regular brownies.

Notes

  1. Brownies are sturdier with butter or melted coconut oil, but other oils should work especially if you're spooning them.
  2. Here's a link to the ramekin I used.
