*this needs to be room temperature,  if it is too cold once it's mixed it will clump or split

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180c and line a regular baking tray with baking paper

Melt the chocolate (use the bain marie method to prevent it going grainy)

In a small bowl combine flaxseed (ground) with 2tbsps warm water and put aside (this acts as the egg in this recipe)

In a larger bowl: combine the milk, oil and melted dark chocolate. In a different large bowl combine oat flour, plain flour, coco powder and brown sugar

Add the flax egg to the wet ingredients and mix before adding to the bowl of dry ingredients. Combine until mixed

Add ½ raspberries, ½ chocolate chunks and ½ crushed walnuts. Stir carefully through the brownie mixture and pour into the tin

Add the remaining raspberries, chocolate chunks and nuts on top

Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from the baking tray and slicing
