Ingredients

  • 200 g dark chocolate broken into chunks
  • 200 g vegan butter or dairy-free spread
  • 3 tablespoons flaxseeds or linseeds mixed with 9 tablespoons of water to make 3 flax eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200 g demerara sugar or brown sugar
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 150 g icing sugar also called confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water you might need less
  • 22 vegan mini eggs you can use more or less

Instructions

  • First make your flax eggs. Grind up flax seeds or linseeds in a food processor or blender. Add the flax meal to a bowl, then add the water. Stir and pop in the fridge to thicken for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180c/160c fan/350f/gas mark 4 and line your bownie pan.
  • Add the chocolate and butter to a bowl and melt in the microwave or in a bain marie (bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water).
  • Add the sugar to a mixing bowl, then add the vanilla extract and flax eggs once they have thickened and whisk with a fork.
  • Pour in the melted chocolate and stir in.
  • Add the flour and salt, then fold in until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the lined brownie tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.
  • While it's cooling make the icing. Add the icing sugar to a bowl and add the water a little at a time, you probably don't need it all.
  • Once you have a thick icing, divide into two bowls and add a different colour gel to each (a few drops) and mix.
  • Test the icing on kitchen paper. Drizzle a little. If it''s too loose, add some more icing sugar. Once it's just right drizzle over the brownies.
  • Add the mini eggs, pushing in slightly.
  • Cut into 16 squares (or more) and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • When lining the brownie tin, leave some extra baking paper over the edge to help when removing it.
  • Leave it to cool in the pan completely before adding the icing and decorations.
  • If you can't find vegan mini eggs, you could decorate with skittles, jelly tots, Percy pigs or mini vegan marshmallows.
  • If you leave the brownies in the fridge over the night, they will become extra fudgy.
