Chocolate brownies
Vegan Chocolate Brownies. These simple to make gooey chocolate brownies are a real treat and were inspired by a recipe from Jamie Oliver!
Ingredients
- 5 tbsp sunflower oil plus extra for greasing the tin
- 200 g dairy-free dark chocolate
- 170 g self-raising flour
- 3 heaped teaspoons cocoa powder
- 180 g golden caster sugar
- sea salt
- 1 vanilla pod
- 230 ml unsweetened organic soya milk
- 200 g pecan nuts roasted and chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Grease a square baking tin (roughly 20cm) with a little oil, then line with greaseproof paper.
-
Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the base doesn’t touch the water. Break 150g of chocolate into the bowl and allow it to melt, then set aside to cool slightly.
-
Meanwhile, sieve the flour and cocoa powder into a large bowl, then stir in the sugar and a pinch of salt. Halve the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape out the seeds, then add them to the bowl. Stir in the oil, soya milk and melted chocolate until combined.
-
Roughly chop and stir in the remaining chocolate and most of the pecans, reserving a few for the top. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle over the remaining pecans, then place into the hot oven for 20- 25 minutes, or until cooked on the outside, but still gooey in the middle!
-
Leave to cool for around 5 minutes, turn out onto a wire cooling rack, then sit back and enjoy with a cup of tea or scoop of icecream!
