Brownies

We originally made these brownies to take to our good friends holiday party, unfortunately we didn't make it to the party but thought we'd share the recipe. We're always trying out new brownie recipes, after all, who doesn't love a good brownie!

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch. square baking pan

In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, maple syrup, soy milk, oil, and vanilla and whisk to combine.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula. Don't over mix. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.

Scrape the batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35 min. Cool for 30 min. in the pan.
