Ingredients for the brownie:

4 tablespoons of ground flaxseed + 8 tablespoons of water
140g of dairy-free butter (room temperature)
160g of caster sugar
160g of light brown sugar
1 tablespoon of Natures Charm Condensed Oat Milk
100g of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
200g of self-raising flour

Ingredients for the toppings:

Natures Charm Chocolate fudge sauce
1 pack of regular Oreos (154g)
150g of dairy-free white chocolate

directions

Brownie:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan and line a deep baking tray with grease-proof paper.

2. Make the flax eggs by combining ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Stir and set aside to thicken for about 10 minutes.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together dairy-free butter, both sugars, and the flax egg until light in color.

4. Add the condensed oat milk, cocoa powder, baking powder, and flour. Mix until a thick brownie batter forms.

5. Spread the batter evenly in the lined baking tray and smooth the top.

6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Keep an eye on the edges to avoid burning.

7. Allow the brownie to cool slightly, then use a coffin-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Set aside on greaseproof paper.

Decorations:

1. Spread ½ teaspoon of chocolate fudge sauce over each brownie.

2. Blitz the Oreos into crumbs and dip the brownie tops into the crumbs so they stick to the fudge. Allow to set on a tray.

Skeleton:

1. Melt the dairy-free white chocolate using a bain-marie or microwave in 10-second intervals until smooth.

2. Transfer to a piping bag, snip the tip, and pipe skeleton bodies on top of the brownies.

3. Pipe faces onto greaseproof paper and freeze for 5 minutes. Transfer the faces to the brownies, using extra melted chocolate to secure if needed.
