In order to make a change this large in your diet and habits, it\u2019s a good idea to start with a simple recipe that will match your diet without having to sacrifice any of the flavor you\u2019re used to. <\/span><\/p>\n When making these brownies, I was at first a little skeptical that they would taste as delicious as the ones I typically eat. However, just by the batter, I knew they\u2019d be amazing. And yes, I did end up eating far too much of the batter. Plus, the batter didn\u2019t have raw egg in it so it was risk-free.<\/span><\/p>\n After I pulled them out of the oven, the center had that warm, gooey, chocolatey consistency that\u2019s to die for. The texture was more dense than a normal brownie, and every bite had my mouth watering. This is definitely a recipe worth trying if you\u2019re considering that transition into veganism; it\u2019s both simple and delectable.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Recipe:<\/span><\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of white sugar, \u00be cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well combined.<\/span><\/p>\n To the dry ingredients, add 1 cup of water, 1 cup of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I added in \u00bd teaspoon of almond extract with mine as well, but you don\u2019t have to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n Mix this until it\u2019s well combined and there are no clumps in the batter. Spread the batter evenly into a 9×13 pan. I greased my pan by using vegetable oil on the bottom, then coating that with a thin layer of flour to avoid sticking.<\/span><\/p>\n Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until you reach your desired consistency. Personally I prefer mine a little more gooey, so I opted for about 25 to 27 minutes and it was perfect. <\/span><\/p>\n Allow brownies to cool for at least ten minutes before you begin cutting into them.<\/span><\/p>\n Recipe inspired by allrecipes.com<\/span><\/p>\n Contact the author at chealy16@mail.wou.edu<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Photo by: Paul F.
