Brownies
2 cups flour (I use enriched and whole wheat), divided
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, optional
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and grease an 11x7" pan. Boil water and 1/2 cup of the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a thin gluey paste. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. Mix vegan brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa and oil. Then add the flour and water mixture. Mix well.
3. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, nuts, and chocolate chips.
4. Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted and come out clean.
This was a really easy, and really tasty recipe. I gave some to my friends and they fell in love with them. They keep asking me to make more. I thought of maybe putting some chocolate frosting on them, but they were perfect without it. Enjoy.'
SO HOW'D IT GO?
i am having trouble posting a photo for this recipe... any one know why i can't....when i try to it says 0 uploads successful
can you use pastry flour?
wait!! did this recipe just get modified from yesterday???? :-\
These were fantastic! I only cook vegan at home, so I still remember what real brownies taste like, and these are just as good! Probably healthier too with the wheat flour! I halved the recipe and used 1/2 wheat flour, 1/4 regular, and 1/4 wheat pastry flour. I also used agave nectar instead of sugar and halved the oil.
Yum yum yum. It is taking all my willpower not to eat the entire pan right now. I may have to send some to my new neighbor as a welcoming gift just so I don't eat it all :P
I must say, it was sugarskulls photograph that drew me to this recipe. The comments sound so positive though, that I am going to try it myself. Proof of what a good photograph can do! I'll be back to comment when the job is done.
Rebecca :)
ok next time i'll try that.. thanx :)
Your heat might have been too high or something..I would just try more water, and whisk it until it thins out (maybe off the heat). : )
they look sooo good but when i tried to make them.. when boiling the water and flour mine when mixed turned to a ball of squishy mix...any help?
these brownies were so easy & delicious! pretty close to non-vegan brownies! my first try with brownies, i used a recipe that included flax seed... and i didnt care for them, because i could totally taste the flax seed; plus, i think the chocolate chips i used made them taste bitter. I was scared that these would be similar, so i left out the chocolate chips and used walnuts instead... and they turned out awesome.
now i just have to keep myself from eating 8 a day. :-\
These are THE BEST brownies-ever, vegan or non-vegan. I've made some other vegan "brownie" recipes that either turned into chocolate cake or were ok, but a little too healthy tasting. These are perfectly fudgy. I've made them several times already and my husband tends to eat the whole pan within two days (well....I help a little ;))
