Ingredients

  • teaspoons cocoa powder 
  • tablespoon flax seed powder 
  • tablespoons maple syrup 
  • 0.5 cup ragi flour (Finger Millet)
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • teaspoon vegetable oil spread 
  • tablespoons water 
  • tablespoon flour whole wheat

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • pizza cutter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven at 375F/190C for 15 minutes. If using a cookie sheet with edges, flip it over (so you get a flat top) and grease it with some oil spread. Or you can use a flat cookie sheet and grease the same. You will be requiring 2 sheets.Meanwhile combine together the dry and wet ingredients into a smooth dough.Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each half directly on the greased cookie sheets.
  2. Roll as thin as possible and using a knife/pizza cutter score it into diamonds/squares directly on the cookie sheet; do not separate.
  3. Bake for 8-15 minutes. The baking time depends on the thickness of the rolled out dough.The first set I baked was thicker than the second set. So the first one took approximately 12-13 minutes but the 2nd was done in about 8 minutes itself. You can smell the cocoa and also can see that the pieces around the edges turning sort of black. Keep a watch and remove the pans immediately out of the oven.The pieces will start coming off while you are removing it from thee sheet.
  4. Spread it on a plate or another cool sheet. Once the chocolate squares have cooled completely store it in an airtight container.
