Mocha Almond Super Fudge Brownie Bars

vegan, fills one 12 x 16 inch baking sheet (high-rimmed)

Ingredients:

wet:

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp virgin coconut oil, mellted
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • egg replacer: 1 1/2 cups soy milk (room temperature) + 1 tsp chia seeds + 1 tsp flax seeds (or just use one seed)

dry:

  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or sub w/ another flour or mixture of flours)
  • 1 1/2 cups organic sugar
  • 3/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cup almonds (sliced or whole)

Toppings:

  • sugar + sliced almonds + instant coffee

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Add all the wet ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

3. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Toss well.

4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl and stir well. You could also lightly beat with a hand mixer (fold in chocolate chips and almonds last if you do this.)

5. Grease a large – high rimmed baking sheet with coconut oil.

6. Pour the mixture into baking sheet spreading it around so the a thin even layer coats the entire baking sheet. You could also use a smaller dish for thicker brownies (this would require a longer cooking time.)

7. Add the instant coffee, almonds and sugar over top the batter.

8. Bake at 350 degrees for about 22 minutes – or until the edges firm up and the center cooks through. The bars will firm up a tad once they cool since they contain coconut oil which helps to firm the bars – especially upon being chilled in the fridge.

9. Allow the bars to cool before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.
