Instructions:

1. Prepare the flax eggs: Mix 1 tbsp flaxseed meal with 3 tbsp water for each flax egg needed. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
2. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it, alternatively you can create individually brookies in a cupcake pan.

3. Make the Cookie Layer:

 

• In a large bowl, cream together the dairy-free butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla extract and flax egg, and mix until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in the Free2b Baking & Melting Wafers.
• Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.

4. Make the Brownie Layer:

 

• In another large bowl, mix together the melted dairy-free butter, oil, and granulated sugar until well combined.
• Add the flax egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in the chopped Free2b Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Mini Cups.

5. Assemble the Brookies:

 

• Spread the brownie batter evenly over the cookie dough layer in the baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay, but it shouldn’t be wet).

6. Cool and enjoy:

 

• Allow the brookies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
• Serve and enjoy the delicious layers of cookie and brownie goodness with a surprise of Free2b chocolate in the center!

Enjoy these allergy friendly brookies, a perfect treat for any occasion!
