Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the buckwheat flour, sugar, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda and baking power and combine to mix well.
  3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and add to a small dish with the butter. Melt by placing the bowl into a pan of hot water- be careful not to get any water in the chocolate though, as this will not end well! Keep stirring the chocolate as it melts to mix with the butter.
  4. Once the chocolate and butter has melted, add it to the flour mix with the almond milk and the egg-free may-o.
  5. Stir well and beat the mixture until combined. Pour it into the lined tin - it will be quite sticky.
  6. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes. You'll know it's ready when you place a knife in the centre and it comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool completely on a wire tray before cutting into squares and devouring!
