We are knocking on the door of 2016...Are you ready?

This year went by so unbelievably fast.

Lately, I have been reviewing what this year has looked like for me and setting my intentions for the New Year and I just want to take this time to say 'Thank You'!!

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share with you and connect with you on the blog, e-mail, and social media. I am looking forward to being able to share so much more with you in the new year. And because things are usually pretty serious around here, today I decided to take a break and share something fun with you...And...there is booze!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed and 4 Tablespoons water (flax egg)
• ½ cup vegan butter (Earth Balance), melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Hennessy cognac
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon instant espresso
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup dark chocolate

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven 350 degrees F. and lightly oil an 8×8-inch square baking pan.
• Prepare the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed with the water, stir, and set aside and allow it to thicken.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients – sugar, baking powder, salt, instant espresso, cocoa powder, and flour and set aside.
• Using a double boiler, melt the butter by continuously stirring and then remove from the heat and add in the chocolate and stir until it is melted and smooth.
• Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour mixture and slowly stir in the flax egg until the mixture becomes thick.
• Stir in the vanilla and cognac and the mixture will become much thinner; continue to stir until everything is combined. 
• Pour the batter into the baking pan, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester come out clean.
• Allow the brownies to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
