RECIPE: Gooey Vegan Brownies

I am currently in Chabanais, in France, staying with one of my favourites, Kate.  The weather outside is grey & damp, but inside we're snuggled up with the fire roaring, the dogs dozing on the rugs & a film or two to entertain us.

Making the most of being in one place for more than a moment & having access to a kitchen, we decided to do a spot of baking.  Looking through numerous recipe ideas, we settled on trying our hand at these...

Gooey Vegan Brownies

 

Simple to make, with not too many ingredients & they came out super delicious!  The chocolate chunks in them were all gooey when they first came out of the oven & then returned to firm chunks once they'd cooled.  We have all of one left...

Ingredients

2 cups of plain flour
1/2 cup sunflower oil

2/3 cup of cocoa powder

3/4 teaspoon of baking powder

3/4 teaspoon of salt

2 cups of granulated sugar

2/3 cup of water

3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 cup of chocolate chunks

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180º.

In a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder & salt & mix together until fully combined.

In another bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, water & vanilla extract, until all the ingredients come together & form a gloopy consistency.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet, mix thoroughly, then add in all the yummy chocolate chunks.

Pour into a tin of your choice & bake in the middle of the oven for about thirty five minutes.

Et voila, delicious, gooey, chocolate brownies, which will add warming layers of fat to your thighs & a smile on your face.  Parfait!
