VEGAN BROWNIES

I actually posted this vegan brownies recipe on the blog back in 2012, after making them for a vegan friend’s party.  I snapped this photo above (back in the days when I was in my linen phase!), carried them off to the party, and watched as everyone absolutely demolished them.

And by everyone, I mean everyone — vegans and non-vegans alike.  And I have made them dozens of times since, and the response is always the same.  People LOVE these brownies!!!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup pureed or well-mashed avocado
• 1/4 cup avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup cane sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup water (I like to instead use 1/2 cup brewed coffee + 1/4 cup water)
• 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees F). Grease an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pureed avocado and olive oil until smooth. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and water (or coffee + water). Stir until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
