Flax Brownies -A Yummy Chewy Brownie Recipe ~ Cake Brownies!

Melt in a Saucepan:

• 1/2 cup butter

Remove from heat, and stir in sugar:

• 1 cup Sugar  (We like less sugar in our recipes, so we use 2/3 cup)

Beat for 10 to 15 minutes to get the sugar halfway dissolved.

Add in Eggs:

• 2 eggs

Beat in the eggs for ~10 to 15 minutes or till you have a creamy mixture.

Add Vanilla:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix Together Dry Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/8 cup all-purpose flour (3/8 cup= 1/4 cup and 2 Tablespoons)
• 1/4 cup of Flakes o' Gold or Ground Premium Gold Flaxseed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Mix Dry Ingredients with Liquid Ingredients

-only stir the batter enough to moisten dry ingredients and stir out lumps. Spread batter into prepared pan.

Baking Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350* degrees F (175* degrees C).


2. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.


3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.


4. A toothpick or clean knife stuck in the middle of the Flaxseed Brownies should come out clean when they are done.
   
   *A little brownie left on the knife or toothpick will be fine, but too much and it is uncooked dough.
   
   -Sometimes you can put a knife in at the beginning so you know how much difference there is how much dough is sticking to the knife!


5. Do not over bake or they will be dry.

Flaxeed Brownies Frosting:

Mix Together in a Mixing Bowel:

To Make Frosting:
Combine butter, cocoa, honey, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar.

Once the Flaxseed Brownies are done:

Frost brownies while they are still warm.

Eat and enjoy! Hide them away if you need to... otherwise if your house is anything like ours, they won't last long!
