Double-Chocolate Brownies

The following recipe makes the best vegan brownies I have ever tasted. I got the recipe from my VegNews Magazine. I must give credit where credit is due, it comes from Sweetpea Baking Company.

Double-Chocolate Brownies

2 cups flour

2 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 c coffee (the liquid, not the grinds- I used our decaf from breakfast)

2 tbsp ground flaxseed (if you have never ground flaxseed, get yourself a coffee grinder for just grounding flaxseed)

3/4 c water

1 cup plus 2 tbsp canola oil

1 tbsp vanilla

1/4 chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.

2. Add coffee, ground flaxseed, water, oil, and vanilla, and mix with a spatula unitl mixture is thick and wet.

3. Spread batter into prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with chocolate chips (I used more chocolate chips than suggested). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Enjoy!

Happy baking!
