Vegan Raspberry & Mint Oreo Brownies (Dairy-free, Egg free)
Vegan Oreo Brownies with Raspberry & Mint are an impressive yet easy traybake option. Filled with tart raspberries, chunks of chocolate and topped with crunchy Oreo cookies they're sure to be a potluck hit. Best served warm with scoops of your favourite ice cream, squirty dairy free cream & lots of hot chocolate sauce for a great Sunday Sundae!
Servings: 16 Squares
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 100 g Dairy Free Dark Chocolate
- 100 g Dairy Free Baking Block or Vegan Butter
- 150 g Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Golden syrup
- 1 tsp Instant Coffee or Espresso Powder
- 3 tbsp Dairy Free, Milk Alternative
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Canola, Vegetable)
Dry Ingredients
- 200 g Self Raising Flour
- 2 tbsp Ground Chia Seeds (or flax seeds)
- 50 g cocoa powder
- pinch Salt
Fillings & Toppings
- 50 g Dark Chocolate Chips or Chunks
- Frozen Raspberries
- 1 Mint Chocolate Oreos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180c. I use a square, silicone cake tray which doesn't need greasing. For a metal cake tin, line with greaseproof paper. It also makes it easier to get out of the tin before slicing!
- In a large saucepan, melt the dark chocolate, margarine, sugar, golden syrup and milk over a low heat. Make sure you stir it to prevent the chocolate burning or you'll end up with a very stodgy mess!
- Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee and vegetable oil. Set this chocolate melty mix aside to cool. Then weigh out the 'dry' ingredients into your large mixing bowl.
- Slowly drizzle the chocolate mixture into dry ingredients while stirring. After a few stirs, add frozen raspberries and chocolate chips. Continue to stir until justcombined.
- Scoop the whole lot into the prepared tin and arrange the oreos on the top of the batter. Then bake at 180C for 25minutes until the top has a lovely crust but the inside is still really squidy.
- One word of warning - wait until almost cool to slice as the top will slide off the oreos!
Notes
GlutenFree Brownies:
The brownie batter can be made glutenfree, just substitute for a suitable flour in the same quantities (plus xanthan gum if its not already in the flour, just follow directions on the packaging).
However, I have yet to find oreo cookies that are completely freefrom. Currently both Schar & Tesco do glutenfree oreos but they contain milk and/or soya.
