Maple Walnut Brownies (vegan)

[Guest guest]

I just baked these (yes! at 2 am!) and they are GOOOOOD!

 

 

 

From the recipe cook book called " How It All Vegan " by Tonya Barnard and

Sarah Kramer (get this book!)

 

-----------------------------

 

Maple Walnut Brownies:

 

1 1/2 cup flour (we used unbleached)

1/3 cup cocoa OR carob powder (we used cocoa)

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup maple syrup (we used 100% pure maple syrup)

1/4 cup apple juice OR water (we used water)

1/3 cup oil

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cup walnuts (which I didn't use because my boyfriend hates them...I love

walnuts)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, sift together the flour,

cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the maple syrup, juice (or water),

oil, vanilla, and walnuts and mix together gently until " just mixed " . Spoon

into a lighly oiled 8x8 pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test with a knife to

see if done. Makes 6 large brownies.

 

TIPS: When cooking sweets like this vegan style, set a pan of water on the

bottom shelf in the oven while baking, this helps keep things moist. Also,

don't " over mix " anything!
