Peanut Butter Brownies - Veganized

We love brownies here.  The hubby loves the batter, I just love them.  I am a sweets addict, that's for sure.  I've tried a few recipes since removing eggs and dairy from our diet but haven't been impressed.  Today's effort isn't the best, but it certainly is the best so far.  And the healthiest, so we might just have to learn to adapt a bit.



I mean, it looks pretty yummy, right?

So here's the recipe...

PB Brownies

Ingredients

• 2 c all purpose flour


• 1 c sugar, your choice in what kind, I used organic cane


• 3/4 c of cacao powder, cocoa powder would work also


• 1 t baking powder


• 1 t salt


• 1 c vanilla soymilk


• 1/2 c oil


• 1/2 c applesauce


• flax egg (1 T ground flax mixed with 2 T warm water and let to "set up")


• 1/2 c organic peanut butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350, grease square baking pan.


2. Mix all dry ingredients, set aside


3. In separate bowl, mix remainder of ingredients except peanut butter


4. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.


5. Add peanut butter to mix and gently fold in.


6. Pour mixture into prepared pan.


7. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, remove from oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes

It was a good brownie but was still missing something.  Maybe chocolate chips would help.  I will give that a try next time.  Desserts are certainly something that I've been able to master on our dairy and egg-free diet.  Thankfully!

Enjoy!
