My sister used to bake these every day to sell at a cafe at school. I often bring these to vegetarian/vegan potlucks because they are quick and everyone seems to really like them. (I think). Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1 cup water |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3/4 cup cocoa powder |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup nuts (optional) |
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook water and 1/2 cup of the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a gluey paste (yum). 2. Remove from heat and let cool completely. 3. Mix sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa powder and vegetable oil, and then add the flour-water mixture. 4. Mix well. 5. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour, plus the baking powder and nuts/chocolate chips. 6. Spread mixture into a greased 11x7-inch pan. 7. Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes, or until knife inserted into center of pan comes out clean. |
