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.
