Begin by combining the ground flax seed and water together in a small bowl and mix. Set the mixture aside for 5-10 minutes to form the flax egg.
Preheat the oven to 350.
In a large bowl combine the coconut sugar and Sunbutter. Use an electric mixer to mix the ingredients together until a crumble has formed.
Add the flax egg to the crumble mixture and mix until the mixture is slightly glossy-looking.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or with a double boiler until smooth.
Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix again.
Add the cacao powder, sea salt, gluten-free flour, and baking powder to the chocolate mixture and mix until combined.
Pour the mixture into an 8x8 square baking pan (it may appear too thick, but this is correct and why the brownies turn out so fudgy.). Place the brownies in the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes.
Once done, allow to chill at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with vegan ice cream and chocolate sauce.
