Vegan Eggless Dark Chocolate Walnut Crinkle Brownies | Christmas recipes | Eggless Brownie recipes

Brownies and celebrations are definitely in for Xmas. I wanted to
give the usual buttery brownies a skip and go for healthy version. I saw these
brownies in a magazine at a parlour many months ago and clicked the recipe on my phone (never
mind the receptionist who was giving me looks :D). They seemed perfect, and boy
they surely were. My neighbours were also happy eating them, and so were we on
the healthy offering. Dark chocolate, Brown sugar, Wholewheat, Butterless,
Eggless, almost Vegan - you really cant go wrong with these
healthy combos.

Method:

1. Sift first 5 ingredients three times in a large bowl : Dry
   ingredients
2. Beat ripe bananas (chopped) and brown sugar well (I powdered brown
   sugar cubes and add it to the banana puree). Now add lemon juice, oil and beat well. Add
   essence, mix and keep aside.
3. Dust the chopped walnuts in a floured bowl (add 1 teaspoon of flour and
   mix the nuts well). Mix in these walnuts in the flour and give it a vigorous
   toss.
4. Now preheat oven to 170 Deg C / 350 deg F
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture little by little and
   mix gently. Add extra oil (3 tsp) if required. mine was a little dry at the
   beginning and therefore I added oil in batches.
6. Pour mixture into a prepared and lined tray.
7. Bake at 170 for 20 mins and 155 for 4-6 mins (keep an eye after 15
   mins and tent the baking dish with foil if you feel its browing too fast).
8. Cool a bit and unmould. The top would have crinkled a bit (and
   thats why the name :D)
9. Dust with icing sugar and cut into shapes desired. 
10. Serve warm
