Dark Chocolate Brownies

Oh, vegan egg replacer, how I do love thee!

I don’t know why it took me so long to use you, but I gave in and now the world is a better place. Or at least my baking is better.

No more vegan boxed brownies for me! EVER AGAIN!

These dark chocolate brownies are super rich and full of chocolate goodness! They’re also super easy to make.

Happy baking my friends!

Dark Chocolate Brownies

1 Bar dark chocolate of choice
1/2 C dark chocolate chips
1 C sugar
3/4 C all purpose flour
1/3 C cocoa powder, unsweetened
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
2 Vegan egg replacers (2 T replacer + 4 T water)
1/2 C veggie oil
1/4 C water
1 t vanilla

Directions

Pre heat your oven to 350′ and lightly grease a baking dish. Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder and coat the pan then toss what didn’t stick.

To make the egg replacer, add water and powder to a small bowl and mix well. Do this first so that it has time to set and turn to almost a gel like substance.

In a saucepan, melt chocolate bar (break the bar into pieces), sugar and water. This took me 5 minutes or so on medium heat. It’s still grainy once the chocolate is melted. Set aside.

To a large mixing bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, salt baking powder and chocolate chips. Mix together. Ad this point, it kind of reminds me of a boxed brownie powder mix.

Now, add oil, vegan egg replacer and vanilla and stir to really get the egg mixture combined with the flour mix.

Finally, add in the melted sugar and chocolate and lightly stir together. Don’t over mix. Just fold the melted chocolate in.

Pour into your baking dish and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

Let cool and add a little vegan powdered sugar to really put it over the top!
