VEGAN MEXICAN CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 ºF with a rack placed in the center. Spray an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish with oil and line with parchment paper, leaving two sides with overhang.
• In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne. Set aside.
• In a small pot combine the milk, yogurt, oil or vegan butter, and sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring regularly, until the sugar has dissolved (mixture will reach ~120 ºF). Turn off the heat and add the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined and no dry spots are left.
• Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with the back of the spoon.
• Bake the brownies for 28-32 minutes in an 8-inch pan, or until a tester comes out with some moist crumbs but no wet batter. If using a 9-inch pan brownies will bake in 25-30 minutes
• Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pan. They are delicious warm, but will be easier to cut if you allow them to cool fully and refrigerate for a few hours. Brownies can be warmed in the microwave in about 15-30 seconds.

• Whisk the flaxseed "egg" again, then place in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add sugar, vegan butter, almond milk and vanilla and stir on low. Gradually increase speed to medium-high and continue beating until mixture is fully combined and mostly smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and beat for 15 seconds.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold with a rubber spatula until fully combined and streak-free. The batter should be thick and gooey, but if it's too dry, add additional almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen. Fold about 3/4 of the chocolate chips into the batter, then spread it evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips.
• Bake until a fork inserted in the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes; do not overcook. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool to room temperature.
