1 tablespoon of Natures Charm Condensed Oat Milk

directions
Brownie:
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan and line a deep baking tray with grease-proof paper.
-
Make the flax eggs by combining ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Stir and set aside to thicken for about 10 minutes.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together dairy-free butter, both sugars, and the flax egg until light in color.
-
Add the condensed oat milk, cocoa powder, baking powder, and flour. Mix until a thick brownie batter forms.
-
Spread the batter evenly in the lined baking tray and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Keep an eye on the edges to avoid burning.
-
Allow the brownie to cool slightly, then use a coffin-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Set aside on greaseproof paper.
Decorations:
-
Spread ½ teaspoon of chocolate fudge sauce over each brownie.
-
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:
-
Melt the dairy-free white chocolate using a bain-marie or microwave in 10-second intervals until smooth.
-
Transfer to a piping bag, snip the tip, and pipe skeleton bodies on top of the brownies.
-
Pipe faces onto greaseproof paper and freeze for 5 minutes. Transfer the faces to the brownies, using extra melted chocolate to secure if needed.
