vegan brownie recipe

Read...

I made these this evening, and they're fantastic!! Gooey, sweet, and so chocolatey! I had all the ingredients at home, and the fact the recipe was egg-free made it all the better! I used only 1/4 cup of oil (no reason, just a genuine error on my part), and the end mixture was reallllly sticky and kinda hard to spread on the pan, but in the end, it turned out great!

INGREDIENTS 

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3⁄4 cup cocoa powder
• 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 cup nuts (optional)
• 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
2. Cook water and 1 cup of the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a gluey paste (yum).
3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
4. Mix sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa powder and vegetable oil, and then add the flour-water mixture.
5. Mix well.
6. Add the remaining 1 cup of flour, plus the baking powder and nuts/chocolate chips.
7. Spread mixture into a greased 11x7-inch pan.
8. Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes, or until knife inserted into center of pan comes out clean.
