Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and water until combined. Set aside for 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel-like consistency.
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
