Recipe type: vegan
Cuisine: dessert
Serves: 12 squares
Ingredients
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
Instructions
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.
