Vegan Brownies

Brownie recipe

These brownies are chewy, fudgey with a shiny, crackly top.

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy yogurt or applesauce

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

2 tbsp. instant chocolate pudding mix

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/3 cup oil

1/4 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 cups chocolate chips

3/4 cup walnuts

Secret Ingredient – hold this thought while preparing this dish – “I have integrity because I fill others with courage to honor that which is most noble in their heart.”


1) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 8″ x 8″
2.   On medium heat water and instant coffee granules.  Add sugar and let dissolves for a minute.  Then add the oil and let all the sugar and oil and everything dissolve completely.  If it comes to a boil switch off heat immediately.
3.  Let above mixture cool completely.  Sieve dry ingredients over the wet ingredients.  Add yogurt and vanilla and mix completely.
4.   Make sure the above mixture is completely cool before adding chocolate chips and walnuts.
5) Cover a 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper as shown in the video.  Spoon the batter into the pan.
6) Bake the brownies for about 25 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.

Makes about 16 pieces of brownies.
