How To Make Pooja Makhija’s Healthy Vegan Brownie:

Ingredients:

Flax meal 2 tbsp

Water 6 tbsp

Maple syrup 1 tbsp

Unsweetened cocoa powder 3 tbsp

Unsweetened peanut butter powder 3 tbsp

Dates (soaked) 6 medium

Unsweetened coconut yoghurt 3 tbsp

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

Sea salt 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. Grind some flax seeds to make a flax meal. The flax meal acts as a replacement for eggs.

2. To this powder, add water and maple syrup. Further, add powdered peanut butter to this paste. Pooja explained that powdered peanut butter has 85% fewer calories from fat and twice as much protein.

3. Now, add unsweetened cocoa powder and dates. Ensure that the dates are soaked well before you add them to the blender so they break down into a paste easily.

4. Mix it all up with some sea salt and baking powder.

5. Pooja added a special touch by adding some coconut yogurt and topped the mixture off with some dark chocolate bites for flavour.

6. Now, lay parchment paper over a baking tray and empty the mixture over it. Bake it at 200c for 45 minutes.

There you go! Your delicious vegan brownies are ready.
