SO HOW'D IT GO?
These were alright. They definately needed chocolate chips. The batter is lacking something flavor wise. I was an idiot and used olive oil instead of canola, so that flavoring is sticking out! They baked very well, and when they are finally cooled i'll throw some frosting on them to bring out the chocolate more. I would attempt these again with chocolate chips. Also i used egg replacer instead of flax seed.
Winner indeed! My non-vegan roommate said it was one of the best things she'd ever eaten!!! ;)b My only issue is that they crumble apart so easily and thus wouldn't present well if I was to, say, take them to a party. Any thoughts on how to get them to bind together better? Regardless, they are chocolatey deliciousness! :-)
Are you using oil or applesauce? I think they seem to work better when I use ener-g egg instead of flax. Also, are you adding water to make an egg sub. when you use flax? And..let them cool completely..and grease your pan well enough. :)
I used oil for the fat, but I actually used applesauce as the egg sub. It's my go-to egg replacement and has never caused problems before, but maybe that was the issue in this case! Next time I'll use Ener-G. I did grease the pan a TON because I saw the previous comments about them sticking...maybe I'll also dust it with flour or cocoa. Thanks!! :-)

My goodness, these are fabulous! I had to use sweetened cocoa powder (actually, Endagered Species hot cocoa mix, which is just superfine sugar and cocoa powder), so I put in more of the cocoa and only 3/4 cup of sugar. I used half whole wheat and half regular flour. I had to bake them in a teflon bread pan because I don't own a brownie pan yet. I baked them for 25 minutes, and they turned out perfectly. Just the right mix of gooey and cakey, they have a nice crispy top, and the edges are chewy but not crunchy. I forgot how good brownies taste!
These are quite possibly the BEST brownies I have ever had. Vegan or not. I substituted applesauce for half the oil (I used flax oil), and I threw in some vegan chocolate chips. Oh lord. Sooooo gooood.
Best brownies I've made yet. Hands down.
I did sub Chocolate soy milk in for the water, and used applesauce for the oil. They came out wonderfully!
Hi! these were great. i made them gluten free and added choco chips & pecans. however, this recipe amt. should be put in an 8X8 pan. i did them in a 13X9 and they are very thin brownies. still quite tasty :)
I added an enormous amount of peanut butter and these were the best brownies ever.
After reading all the rave reviews on the ppk site and here I decided to make these for Thanksgiving. I subbed espresso for the water and added chocolate chips. They were a hit with others, but I felt like something was missing. Maybe I should have subbed soymilk instead of espresso or added walnuts. Needless to say I attacked them along with everyone else.
Thanks for the recipe!
