The brownie is a rich, dense cake originating in the United States. It owes its name to the brown color that the cocoa gives it.

Its creation was a happy accident: at the end of the 19th century, a cook forgot to add leavening to the chocolate cake he was preparing, so it didn't rise and turned out low and dense, with the intense flavor and texture that inspire so much passion around the world today.

The brownie may include walnuts, chocolate chips, caramel, peanut butter or dried fruit among its ingredients, as well as a topping of melted dark chocolate, date caramel, powdered sugar or extra cocoa powder, among others.

In this case, we made it by adding small pieces of chocolate to the batter, which gives it a smooth exterior and a tender interior from which delicious melted chocolate oozes, making for an even juicier and more irresistible brownie.

Notes

If you prefer, you can add chopped walnuts or any other nuts you like, peanut butter or dried fruit.

If you do not consume it on the same day, we recommend heating the brownies a little just before eating them so that the pieces of chocolate inside melt and the experience is even more irresistible.

When selecting vegetable margarine, check that it is not hydrogenated and that it does not contain palm oil or any ingredient of animal origin (Eg: Flora brand olive margarine has gelatin among its ingredients).

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and, with a knife, cut the chocolate into small pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground flax seeds and the water and let them hydrate for 15 minutes.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the melted margarine, the oil and the sugar and whisk until the ingredients are well mixed.

Step 4
Add the flax and water mixture and the vanilla extract and whisk again until all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt and add them to the mixture, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon, taking care not to overmix so the texture isn't spoiled.
Step 6
Add the chocolate pieces to the batter and stir a little so they are evenly distributed. Pour the batter into an ovenproof pan of about 20 cm x 20 cm lined with parchment paper and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 7
Cover the pan with parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes. After this time, turn off the oven and wait 10 more minutes before taking the pan out.
Step 8
Take out the pan, uncover it and wait for the brownie to cool to room temperature so it can be cut. Once cooled, cut it into small squares and serve.
