Notes
- I must say, a food processor does a quick job, and I much prefer that, but if you don't have any, it's not a big deal. That's the beauty of the home baking, you can tweak everything, and that includes ingredients or the whole process itself.
- I chose to bake the brownies in a 6-hole muffin tray, but you can use a small square baking tin too. With the ingredients used you get 6 muffin-shaped brownies, so adjust the amounts needed if you use a bigger tray.
- NOTE! Make sure you grease your baking tray well wither with oil or butter, depending if you want them vegan or just vegetarian, otherwise they will stick to the edges and won't come out easily.
