Dont add them frozen to the butter (as I did&#8230;) as it will solidify it&#8230;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sift flour and cocoa powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In another bowl, mix sugar and aquafaba. I dont have a mixing attachment to my hand blender so I did it manually. I didnt get to the point as in the video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the vanilla, salt, coffe to the liquid. Fold it with a spatula.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melt the margarine and chocolate using <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bain-marie\">Bain Marie<\/a>. I ran out of bowl and had to use a saucepan directly on the heat&#8230;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour the melted chocolate over the aquafaba mix. Fold everything together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the flour mix to the wet ingredients. Combine properly but dont over mix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the chocolate chips and cherries if you want to. Mix all a bit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour the butter into a baking tin covered with baking paper. Mine is 30x20cm and I think it is a bit too big. You dont have to spread the butter everywhere if you want a bit thicker brownies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake for 30-35 minutes. Use a toothpick to check if the center comes out with a bit of moister. Dont over bake it! (as I did)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Let the brownies to cool for 0 minutes then you can cut them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1131\" width=\"479\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4.png 722w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-4-300x209.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 85vw, 479px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, I made many mistakes.
