🍫Ingredients
All the ingredients you'll need for these egg-free fudgy raspberry brownies.
- Plain/AP flour: Ordinary all purpose flour is best for brownies. You can choose to use organic, or try using oat flour or gluten free flour if you wish.
- Ground Flax Seed (and water) - Flax seed is also known as linseed. Ground up and mixed with water it becomes vegan egg mix- also known as flax eggs. It's easy to make and keeps the brownies together with the squidge that brownies need.
- Brown Sugar: I like brown sugar for the richer flavour it brings, however white is also good. You can also choose another sweetener such as coconut sugar or maple syrup.
- Vegetable Oil (such as sunflower oil, coconut oil or other neutral oil): this replaces butter, and I think does a great job of keeping the brownies moist and dense.
- Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder: Good quality cocoa powder of course!
- Coffee: Blooming the cocoa in a shot of coffee brings out the chocolate flavor even more. (optional extra)
- Dark/Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips or chunks: choose a vegan or plant based chocolate chip to keep this dairy free. (If you're in the UK, Tesco own brand Dark Chocolate chips are perfect)
- Plant-Based Milk: I prefer oat milk, however soy milk or almond milk also work.
- Vanilla Extract: For a little fragrance and to enhance the other flavours.
- Baking Powder: for a little lift and fluffyness.
- Frozen or Fresh Raspberries: Finally, choose either fresh or frozen raspberries.- either works well.

👩🍳Instructions
Here's how to make these rich dark chocolate brownies with raspberries.
1 Mix the ground flax with the water in a small bowl. This will gel up after a few minutes and 2. becomes our egg free vegan egg, which you then mix with the sugar, oil and plant milk in a large mixing bowl.
3. Make a fresh shot of coffee and pour it over the cocoa powder.
4. then add the chocolate mixture and flour to the liquid.
5. Finally stir in the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks along with the raspberries.
6. Line a brownie tin with parchment paper and pour the brownie mixture into the tin. Bake 180°C/Gas Mark 4/325°F.
Leave the brownies to cool in the tin, then slice into squares using a sharp knife. Serve warm with some vegan ice cream and raspberry sauce!
Hint: After about 10 minutes of baking, pop extra raspberries and chocolate chips on of the brownie mixture and return it to the oven to finish baking

🔪Equipment
The great thing about this fudgy vegan raspberry brownie recipe is that it doesn't require creaming or whipping, just a bit of a mix and one large bowl, and a small bowl for mixing up the egg-free linseed mixture.
You will however need a good square tin that is approx 24cm x 24cm (ish).
🫙Storage
This chocolate raspberry brownie recipe keeps pretty well in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. The fresh raspberries mean that you might want to freeze some for later, in which case you can also pop them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just defrost as needed until room temperature or pop in the oven or microwave for a warm fudgy brownie!
Top tip
Be careful not to overbake these brownies or you'll end up with cakey brownies rather than rich fudgy ones. Remove them from the oven when some gooey cake batter still attaches itself to your skewer and let them cool completely in their tin.
❓FAQ
Once baked, let the brownies cool completely. Cut into squares and sandwich brownie slices between pieces of parchment. Put into freezer bags and freeze. Thaw as needed.
The key to a clean cut when cutting brownies is to use a sharp knife and cut down in one smooth motion. Between each cut, rinse the knife in warm water. This ensures a clean, neat edge on the brownie.
