10-Minute Vegan Brownies

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Lightly oil a 6x9 baking pan and set aside.

3. 3

   Combine oil and chocolate chips in a sauce pan over low heat and gently stir until melted.

4. 4

   I did this step in the microwave, heating the chocolate and oil in two 30 second increments, and then another 10 seconds, stirring in between each time until melted.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl combine the apple sauce OR silken tofu, sugar and vanilla. Whip this with a whisk or use a stand mixer to get the wet ingredients really combined well.

6. 6

   Add the melted chocolate to the apple sauce (or tofu) mixture.

7. 7

   Next add the flour and baking soda to the chocolate, and stir gently to combine. Don't over mix. Over mixing can make the brownies really dense and heavy.

8. 8

   Pour the batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes (Mine were perfect at 25).

9. 9

   Do not slice the brownies until they have cooled.
