Vegan brownies

Because despite the fact that it only has cocoa powder to give it a chocolatey flavour, it is really quite delicious, and it has now been tested a few hundred thousand times by people from all over the globe, with great results.

110g (3.9 oz) plain flour

20g (0.7oz / 1⁄4 cup) cocoa powder

¾ tsp baking powder

10g (0.3 oz / 2 tbsp) desiccated coconut

80g (6.3 oz / 1 cup) brown sugar 

50g (1.7 oz / 2 tbsp) golden syrup 

120g (4.2 oz / 1/2 cup) soy milk 

15 drops vanilla extract

To begin with, preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

Sift the flour, the cocoa powder, and the baking powder into a bowl.

Add the coconut, the sugar, the syrup, the milk and the vanilla into the bowl, and whisk the ingredients to combine them, and complete the batter.

Pour the batter into a greased 20 centimetres (8 inches) round pan, and bake the brownies for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, remembering to rotate the pan halfway through the cooking time.

Before removing the brownies from the oven, pierce them with a toothpick to ensure that they are cooked. If they are, the pick will come out dry and with no mixture on it.
