http://www.veganbaking.net/ 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 616-1521 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies This is a 6 star recipe! I just made this (i'm actually eating a piece right now) and it's amazing. Fudgy inside and crispy outside. I don't think I ever enjoyed a homemade non-vegan brownie as much as this one. I followed the recipe to a tee (except used 5tbsp coconut oil + 1 tbsp nut milk in place of vegan butter) and they came out just the way they should. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! ]]> Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:17:27 -0400 616-1506 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies Oh god, this recipe is awesome. I made no subs and it turned out beautifully! Sticky, moist, gooey and crunchy on top..all the things a brownie should be! Thank you!!! ]]> Sat, 16 Mar 2013 17:22:53 -0400 63-1494 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/bars/63-pecan-blondies I used unrefined coconut oil and love the coconut flavor it gave them. Makes the oatmeal seem like coconut flakes. I also added 1/2 cup chocolate chips which I recommend if your a chocolate lover. Very dense, chewy and filling. I will make these again! ]]> Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:50:04 -0400 616-1491 http://www.veganbaking.net/brownies-and-bars/brownies/616-ultimate-brownies Aaagh! Wish I'd read the bit about the batter being "Very thick!" before over-panicking and nearly ruining my brownies :O Thought I'd misread the amounts for flour and hastily tried to "dilute" the mix by adding more hot water, melted choc etc. Luckily they still turned out ok but next time I will have to follow to a tee! ]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:36:28 -0400
