Steps:
- Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl.
- Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them.
- Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
- While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
- Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.
- Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you’re there.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like.
- Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly.
- Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don’t want to overdo this mixing.
- Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it.
- Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it’s not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven.
- Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you’re using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you’re using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles.
- They’ll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3. Grease a 20 x 30cm/8 x 12in baking tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 9 tablespoons cold water and whisk together. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water – do not allow the bowl to come into contact with the water. When almost all of the chocolate has melted, add the dairy-free margarine and remove the bowl from the heat to allow the margarine to melt into the chocolate.
- Add both types of sugar to the chocolate along with the maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl, add the soaked flax seed and the milk and mix until thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and spread level with the back of a spoon. Scatter with chocolate chips, if using, and bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until lightly risen and set – the middle might still be slightly soft but this is ok – the brownies will be fudgy.
- Leave the brownies to cool completely in the tin, then transfer to a board and cut into squares.

- Now stir in the cocoa, flour, espresso powder, and salt to mix with the batter. Make sure that the mixture is smooth like a paste. You will need to pour the batter into a pan to bake. Before you bake the brownies, test one first. If it cooks well with a moist crumb no falling off, then you can bake the rest. So, after the test comes positive, bake the rest of the batter for about 30 minutes. Keep the temperature of the oven to 195 degrees Celsius. Please take out the pan, and leave it to cool off. When the brownies are completely cool, you can serve or eat with your family.
