http://www.veganbaking.net/ 616-1634 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would. It's so damn amazing! I have done several subs, from extra cocoa and earth balance to replace chopped chocolate, to dairy free chocolate chips, no nuts, instant coffee, organic, not organic (tsk tsk). Even did it with earth balance in the tub and it worked exactly the same for me, turned out fab. THANKS MATTIE!!! ]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:41:59 -0400 616-1625 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies Thank You Mattie for sharing this recipe. These are the most amazing brownies I've ever had. Recently turned vegan and after making these, I am so looking forward to trying out your other recipes. My non-vegan friends can't stop eating them. I better make some more soon. They keep well in an air-tight container in the fridge. This superb brownie formula is a 5 star vegan winner. Ultimate brownies indeed. Greetings from the vegan kitchen in London. xxx ]]> Wed, 05 Jun 2013 20:54:10 -0400 616-1604 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies This was my first time making vegan brownies and I must say this recipe is pretty great. One thing that I didn't like is that the morning after I made them they were rocks. I followed the recipe word for word. Is that supposed to happen or is there something else I can do to preserve them longer? ]]> Fri, 24 May 2013 22:44:41 -0400 616-1602 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies SO so so so good. YUM. I ate some hot, warm and cold and delicious all three stages :) Total winner in my book. Next time I will try with coconut oil as I prefer cooking with that,and it sounds like it works fine :) Thanks so much!!!! ]]> Fri, 24 May 2013 05:26:21 -0400 616-1601 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies I LOVE brownies. Every year my mom sticks candles into a pan of brownies for me instead of a regular birthday cake. Ever since going vegan however, most brownies are good - but they're missing that chewy, dense texture that really makes a great brownie. THIS RECIPE IS AMAZING. It nails that wonderful texture that brownies are meant to have... and the flavor is perfection as well! My non-vegan friends adore them. The only problem is that you can easily eat the whole pan in a couple of days! : ) One Tip.... wetting your fingers really helps to press the thick dough down into the pan. Thanks once again Mattie!!!!!!!!! ps. lining the pan with parchment makes the bottom of the brownies really nice... good idea! ]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 02:31:54 -0400 63-1596 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies I'm sure I must have done something wrong, although I really did follow the recipe (for a change). A real shame, as I had pinned this a while ago and was looking forward to trying it, hoping it might resemble the almond blondies I am crazy about at Cookies & Scream. But this came out hard and dry - and with the amounts of coconut oil and rice syrup in here, not a cheap recipe to end up throwing in the bin! Still, my husband and I enjoyed a coffee while picking out all the pecans... Sorry Matti. ]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 09:54:11 -0400 616-1585 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies I've tried my share of vegan brownie recipes and I've consistently been let down until now. "Ultimate" is the perfect word for this recipe. These were absolutely the best brownies I've ever made, vegan or otherwise! ]]> Fri, 10 May 2013 15:33:59 -0400 616-1535 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies I just made these brownies (and managed not to use every dish in my kitchen). (I did not use nuts or espresso.) I pulled them out of the oven, out of the dish and immediately cut them and ate one. Then I cut another one and at that too. They're so good I feel I should eat a vegetable. They're not just so much like the real thing it made me want a glass of cow's milk and I don't like cow's milk vegan or not. No one is available to eat them with me so I'm worried I'm going to eat them all before morning. I used almond milk but then I was wondering how chocolate almond milk would do. In hindsight that would be chocolate overload. A lot of people are finding it hard to go vegan because they don't want to give things up. It's a victory when the vegan version is better than the non-vegan version. ]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 03:29:35 -0400 616-1532 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies I've been making these brownies since I ran across this recipe, and they are fantastic. My husband loves them. I thought I'd leave a note to say that I wanted to make them today and only had 1/4 cup of the vegan chocolate chips. I went ahead and did it, and they were still great! Another tip is that I've found in the past that the edges get more done, so now I put foil around the edges and that works well. ]]> Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:36:51 -0400 616-1524 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies These are so perfect...thank you! These stand up beside non-vegan brownies with pride. I used tub margarine in these cos that's all I had at the time and they were fine btw. ]]> Sat, 23 Mar 2013 10:37:01 -0400
