Chocolate Brownies

These brownies are delicious!! They seem a little not done when you take them out of the oven but once they cool down they are crunchy on the outside and fudgy on the inside. YUM! I found they harden up if you store them in the refrigerator.
This recipe comes from "Pollen" on Food.com.

Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

2 cups GF baking flour
1 cup water
1 cup vegan brown sugar
1 cup vegan white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (I forgot this ingredient and mine still turned out great)
1/2 cup nuts (optional) - I used walnuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) - I used Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks


Directions

Preheat oven to 350F and grease your 11"x7" brownie pan (I also used some parchment/baking paper)
Cook water and 1/2 cup of the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a gluey paste.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Mix sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa powder and vegetable oil, and then mix in the flour/water mixture.
Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour, plus the baking powder and mix until smooth.
Stir through the nuts and chocolate chips if using.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until knife inserted into center of pan comes out clean.
I ended up cooking mine for 45mins before they were done but it might have been the lack of baking powder...oooops!
