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.
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup vegan chocolate chips

For serving

2 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp water until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
