I recently visited a friend and she made some home made brownies that were so good I basically insisted she email me the recipe straight away. I have to confess it had been a very loooooong time since I had eaten a brownie. But hello! Yum!
So a day or two after our catch up she emailed me the recipe and I adapted it to my vegan ways. And voila! A super yummy, vegan brownie was born.
These brownies are wonderfully goo-ey on the inside and super chocolate-y, but still have that kind of crackly outer shell that all good brownies should have.
Perfect for dunking!

- 140 g olive oil spread (I use Olivani)
- 70 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 Tbsp honey (80 g) (or maple or guava syrup if making vegan)
- 125 g white sugar
- Egg whites substitute to the value of 2 whole eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla essence
- ½ cup plain white flour (90g)
- Pinch salt
- Make your egg substitute (if you need to make it).
- Line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper.
- Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees celsius.
- In a bowl add the olive oil spread, cocoa powder, sugar and honey/maple/guava syrup. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water so that the bowl completely covers the pot. The steam will melt the olive oil spread.
- Stir until the olive oil spread is completely melted and the bowl contents is a dark glossy syrup.
- Add the vanilla essence and stir until smooth.
- Add half of the egg substitute to the bowl and stir until smooth. Next add the other half of the egg substitute and stir until smooth
- Add the flour and beat with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed in.
- Pour into the lined baking tin and cook for 20-25 mins at 160 degrees celsius.
- The more you cook it the less goo-ey it will be in the centre.
- Cut into squares and serve asap or store in an airtight container for 4 days. This recipe also freezes beautifully.
