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)
