- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Line a square brownie pan with silicone paper and preheat the oven to 150C (fan forced)
- In a bowl combine all the ingredients and mix until full incorporated with each other.
- Pour into the lined square brownie pan and place in the preheated oven on the middle shelf.
- Cook for 25 -30 minutes until just set in the center. The more you cook the more cake like it becomes.
- Cool in the pan and then refrigerate. Once chilled slice and serve.

Notes
- I have made these brownies studded with raspberries. It was amazing but did need an extra 5 or so minutes to cook to compensate for the added fruit.
- Besan flour is milled chickpeas you can find it in most health food stores, good supermarkets, Indian grocers and online. If you can't find it anywhere feel free to substitute for any other flour or meal.
- Any combination of oil works in this recipe, I often use a combination of coconut and olive oil. But nut oils would work great and impart a beautiful flavour through the brownie (it's just not lunch box friendly for us, our schools are nut free)
