Serves: 12 person(s)
Yield: 12 x brownies

Preparation Time: 5 mins
Cooking Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup Splenda® *
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup low-fat soy milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a bowl combine together the flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add soy milk, oil and vanilla, and mix together.

Place mixture in a 9 x 9 or 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until done (baked brownies will be a bit gooey, so do not dry them out by over-baking).

Variations:

* If desired, replace 1-1/2 cup Splenda® with equal amount of sugar. For a sweeter brownie, add 2 cups Splenda® or sugar.

Can add in chocolate chips (note: choc chips are not vegan) and/or chopped walnuts.
