Method
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan).
- In a mug, add the ground flax seeds and mix well with 6 tbsp of water. Leave to sit for 5 minutes, this will coagulate to form the flax eggs.
- Line a brownie tray (30cm x 20cm) with baking parchment paper.
- Sieve the flour, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl and mix.
- Melt the plant-based butter and add in the peanut butter/almond butter with the oat milk, flax egg and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined - don't worry if there are some chunky peanuts, this will add a nice bite!
- Make a well in the centre of the flour, sugar, and salt mix and pour in the peanut butter mix. Stir until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips to the mixed batter and transfer to the lined baking tray. Smooth
the top. - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool
while you make your caramel. - For the caramel: Take a medium saucepan and add in the sugar along with 4 tbsp of water, stir to ensure all the sugar is mixed with the water. Place on medium heat until the sugar has dissolved (five minutes - the mixture should go clear). Leave to bubble without stirring for five minutes or longer until it turns lightly golden.
- Once golden, remove from the heat and add in the butter and oat milk. Mix through until melted
and well combined. Sprinkle over a generous pinch of salt. You want to ensure you have a super smooth caramel. - Carefully drizzle over the top of the blondies and enjoy!
