Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (I use enriched and whole wheat)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup vegan brown sugar
- 1 cup vegan sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1/2 cup oil - preferably vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)
1. Boil water and 1/2 cup of the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a thin gluey paste. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. Mix vegan sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa and oil. Then add the rest flour-water mixture. Mix well.
3. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour, baking powder and the nuts or chocolate chips, if you choose to add those.
4. Spread mixture into a greased 11 x 7" pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted and come out clean.
This was a really easy, and really tasty recipe. I gave some to my friends and they fell in love with them. They keep asking me to make more. I thought of maybe putting some chocolate frosting on them, but they were perfect without it. Enjoy.
