MINI GINGERBREAD BROWNIES
What is the first taste you associate with Christmas?
Exactly, gingerbread!
It feels like the gingerbread season starts earlier every year in the supermarkets. Now you can easily stock up on gingerbread even in August. But you don't have to buy whole packages of gingerbread, there are also gingerbread spices that you can use to spice up desserts and pastries for Christmas.
Personally, we are not the biggest gingerbread fans and never bake or buy gingerbread at Christmas time, but we still love gingerbread spice and like to add it to our hot chocolate or biscuit dough to spice up the classics. So this year we added gingerbread spice to our brownie recipe and that's how our MINI Gingerbread Brownies came into existence.
Ejoy it!
MINI GINGERBREAD BROWNIES
Zutaten
INGREDIENTS
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 80 g coconut oil or vegetable margarine (e.g. Alsan Bio, vegan block)
- 100 ml aquafaba (drained water from a can or jar of chickpeas)
- 100 g sugar
- 120 g flour
- 15 g cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp gingerbread spice
- Dark chocolate for the icing
Zubereitung
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 160°C top/bottom heat. Line a baking tin (20x20cm) with baking paper. Chop the chocolate and melt it with the coconut oil (or vegetable margarine) over a bain-marie.
- Put the aquafaba in a bowl and beat with a mixer until frothy (about 5 minutes). Then gradually add the sugar and beat for another 5 minutes. This produces a mixture similar to beaten egg whites, which we call chickpea whip.
- Add the melted chocolate to the chickpea whites and mix in. Mix all the dry ingredients together and sift into the bowl, mixing together.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish, smooth it out and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Be sure to let the brownie cool before removing it from the tin. Carefully cut the large brownie into small brownie cubes with a knife. Cover the cubes with the chocolate icing and leave to dry. If you like, you can drizzle melted white or dark chocolate over the brownies as a decoration.
