This recipe is originaly taken from Laura Vitale´s page go and visit her in www.laurainthekitchen.com For some amazing recipes.

 

I make some little changes in the recipe, just because i don´t like to feel the taste of the eggs in my baking, and butter, an also for a vegetarian option. So, i change some of them. But just in case i will leave you the original one and the changes are marked.

Anyways this recipe is just great and chocolately for a cheat day and for an amazing weekend. Just if you are going to do the changes, consider that you´ll taste some diferences, but it is still tasty and good. 

 

 

 

 

Prep time: 20 minsCook time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

For the Cookie Dough:

1 cup All Purpose Flour (for healthier version; oats, wholewheat)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 Egg (1 tbs of linaza plus 2 tsp of water, you could use 1/4 cup of greek yoghurt)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup of Unsalted Butter, softened at room temperature (1/2 cup of coconut butter or coconut oil)
1/3 cup of Granulated Sugar
1/3 of a Cup of Brown Sugar
1 cup of Semisweet Chocolate Chips

For the Brownie Batter:

1/2 cup of Unsalted Butter, softened at room temperature (1/2 cup of coconut butter, coconut oil)
10 oz of bittersweet chocolate, melted
1-1/3 cups of Granulated Sugar
1/4 tsp of Salt
2 eggs (2 tbs of linaza plus 4 tsp water or 1 cup of yoghurt)
1 cup of Flour (oats, wholewheat)
2-1/2 Tbsp of Cocoa powder
1/2 tsp of Instant Espresso Powder

 

Process,

 

1) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x9” baking pan with some non stick spray and line the bottom with some parchment paper. Make sure the parchment paper comes up the sides of the baking pan so it makes for easy removal later. 

2) To make the cookie dough, first mix together the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside. 

3) In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar, add the eggs and vanilla and just mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients along with the chocolate chips and mix until your cookie dough comes together. 

4) Press the cookie dough into the bottom of your prepared pan (dampen your hands and press the cookie dough into the pan) making sure to get it into an even layer, set aside. 

5) In the same bowl you made the cookie dough in, add the butter and sugar and mix to combine, about 1 minute, add the eggs and continue to mix for an additional minute or two. Add the melted chocolate and mix until all of your wet ingredients are combined. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the flour, instant espresso, cocoa powder and salt, set aside

6) Add the dry ingredients, mix for about a minute or long enough for your batter to come together. 

7) Pour the brownie batter over the cookie dough, spread the top evenly and pop it in the oven to bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until fully cooked though.

8) Allow the brownies to cool a bit before lifting from the pan and cutting into squares.
