I have finally made brownies that are delicious! I broke my my curse of making bad brownies (hopefully)! These are pretty easy to make and they are delicious, especially if you have a weakness for almond butter.

3 tablespoons vegan butter
3 tablespoons water
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
1 tablepsoon ground flax meal
1 tablespoon egg replacer powder
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Almond Butter Swirl:

1/2 cup almond milk
1/3 cup sugar or brown sugar
2 teaspoon energy egg replacer + 2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to do:

In a small sauce pan melt butter. Mix in water, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Remove from heat.

Ina  separate bowl whisk together flax meal, water, and egg replacer powder.
Whisk into chocolate mix.
Whisk in the flour and baking powder.
For the almond butter swirl: Mix all of the ingredients together.
In a lightly greased 8" square baking pan evenly spread out chocolate mix. (It will be a very thin layer, don't worry!)
