Brownies (aqua faba)

Tried a new Brownie recipe today - using Black Bean aqua faba, This was based on the recipe from https://eclecticerica.com/ooey-gooey-fudgy-vegan-brownies-using-aquafaba/ These were quite crumbly - not sure if they are supposed to be or whether adding a bit of banana might be worth it next time.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of Trex Dairy Free butter (melted)
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 1/2 cup soft light brown sugar
• 6 tbl of aqua faba (this is equal to two eggs)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup of cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup of (dairy free) chocolate - either drops or broken up pieces
• 1/3 cup of nuts
• 1 cup self raising flour
• pinch of salt

Method

• Use a loaf tin, line with greaseproof paper
• Pre heat oven to 175C
• whisk together melted "butter", aqua faba, sugar, salt and cocoa powder
• add in the flour slowly whisking
• use a metal spoon and fold in the choc chips &/or the nuts
• spoon into the loaf tin
• cook for approx 35 mins.

These were cooked at 180C for 40mins and were quite crispy on the outside and crumbly. I think dropping temp and time would help resolve this one.
