This is a recipe I've had so many people ask me for. If you told me going vegan meant I couldn't have brownies, I wouldn't have done it! This recipe is open for many changes, and additions. I love changing up the nuts, or adding a little cayenne for a kick. Use at your own risk! *Caution..they're addicting*
You Will Need:
2 Tablespoons of warm water
1 Tablespoon of ground flax seeds (I grind them myself in the blender)
1 1/2 cups of white flour
1/2 cup of Raw Cacao (or carob powder)
A pinch of salt
1 Teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon of instant espresso powder
1 1/4 cups of non-dairy milk (almond, hemp, soy, coconut)
1/2 cup Canola oil
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Or 1:1 peppermint extract for the ~winter~)
1/2 Cup chocolate Chips (Optional)
1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts Chopped (or pecans, almonds, nuts of choice)
Okay here we go playas
1. Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees, and oil an 8 inch baking pan
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water and ground flaxseeds. Let these sit until they become a thick consistency.
3. In a bigger bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cacao, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
4. In another bowl (I'm sorry too many bowls) mix together the non dairy milk, oil, vanilla, and your thickened flaxseed mixture.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and add in the chocolate chips and nuts until just combined.
6. Bake for 45-55 minutes. This may seem long but its the perfect amount of time. 45 for fudgy 55 for cakey.
7. Wait for them to cool- I know it's hard. Cut into slices and enjoy!!
