How to Make:
1. Spray some B-WELL baking spray into a square 20×20 pan. Preheat your oven to 180˚C.
2. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed powder and coconut cream. Allow this to sit for a few minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cacao, baking soda and salt. Whisk until the cacao is broken up and incorporated completely.
4. Pour in the wet ingredients: B-Well Canola oil, flax egg mixture and vanilla extract.

8. With topping: add the dark chocolate chips/chopped pieces into a bowl with the spices and a heaped tsp of icing sugar. Heat the coconut cream and add the heated cream into the bowl, slowly stirring till all the pieces are melted and you have smooth chocolate spread. Pour over brownies- spreading evenly.
