Killer Vegan Brownies!!

I make some killer vegan brownies!! As my bros sing, you can't win friends with salad, but you can with Nat's vegan brownies!!

I should be in bed, well, technically I am, but I should be sleeping. Instead, I'm typing the recipe to these killer brownies. Enjoy.

My twin bro and his girl prefer the dark chocolate kind, plus dark chocolate has more antioxidants and lowers your blood pressure, so that is what I am posting.

1 1/3 cup sugar (I prefer beet sugar, but whatever vegan sugar you have is great)
1 cup applesauce
2 tbls + 1/2 cup water
1 scoop vegan protein powder
1 1/3 cup non-bleached flour
3/4 cup dark coco powder
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup (or more) chopped up vegan dark chocolate bars
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

(If you don't have protein powder, cut down the applesauce to 3/4 cup and you can add a couple tsp of ground flaxseed.)

Put all except last 2 ingredients in bowl and mix until smooth. Stir in chocolate pieces and walnuts. Pour into greased 8x8 or 9x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or until chopstick comes out clean. (You can use a toothpick, but I prefer a chopstick).

If you prefer semi-sweet, you can use the regular coco powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips, Ghirardelli semi-sweet are vegan, and/or Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate bars. I believe Ghiradelli dark chocolate is vegan as well, but always check labels to be sure.

Let cool for a bit and enjoy!! These are really, really rich and go great with a glass of Silk omega 3 fortified soy milk!! mmmmm...yummy!!!

That is all for now. Enjoy and goodnight!!
