Hi everyone, this is probably something new and I haven’t had anything similar on my blog to this, but earlier this week I had a go at baking my first vegan brownies. I am not a great cook as you may have realized.
So if I can not screw this one up then everyone can. I can’t take full credit for this recipe, I found the original here, however, I slightly mine and this is the recipe you can find below.
I hope you enjoy these rich, gooey and amazing brownies (I know I did and I shared with my friends, who also praised these as excellent). Before we dive in, please keep in mind that these are really high in sugar and should be made as a treat and by no means are, what you would consider ‘healthy’.
Let the brownie porn begin.
Ingredients:
2cups flour
1cup water
1cup brown sugar and 1cup white sugar or simply 2 cups of sugar (Note: could replace with maple syrup (to tase))
1teaspoon salt
1teaspoon vanilla
3⁄4cup cocoa powder
1⁄2cup sunflower oil
1⁄2teaspoon baking powder
Add ons (optional):
Chocolate chunks
Nuts
Weed (only if it's legal of course) - I talked about my views on weed here, if my stands interest you. :)
Dried fruit (raisins, dried berries)
Rasperies (jam, fresh, frozen or dried) – this should be heaven
Jelly beans (imaging how gooey and sticky the final result would be? Damn it)
I personally used dark chocolate (plain) just broken down in large pieces and a dark chocolate with whole nuts (broken down).
Direction:
- Mix 2 cups of water with ½ cup of all purpose flour in a pot. Heat the mixture up on a low heat, constantly stirring until starts to resemble a PVA glue. Leave it to cool.
- Pre hear the oven to 180C.
- Pass sugar, salt, cocoa through a fine strainer. Add oil and vanilla. Add the cooled down water-flour 'glue' to the mixture. Mix it trough.
- Add the remaining flour and baking soda. Again make sure you use a strainer for this to get out any lumps out from the dry ingrediens (this will make your mixing hell of a easier). Mix well.
- Mix in your ‘add ons’.
- Grease up your baking tray (I used sunflower oil and it worked just fine).
- Spread the mixture into the pan.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes. A great way to test is, poking (is this the proper baking term for this?) a knife in the middle, if the knife comes out clean then your goodness should be ready.
- Let them cool and later cut into squares. (I cut them waaaay too big, the brownies are so rich that you might want to keep the pieces on the smaller side.)
Enjoy, stay kind and share the yummy goodies with your friends (sharing is caring)!
