Eat Veggies, save the planet

Rose posted this recipe a few years ago on her blog: The Captious Vegetarian. I have made them recently and changed the recipe some. Here is my latest version. I brought them to the Sunshine Gardens potluck and I got asked for the recipe(by non-vegans).  So here it is.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup soy milk
• 1.5 tsps. vanilla
• 1 cup unbleached white flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 3 TBSPs. organic sugar
• 1/4 cup Sucanat
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt. If using iodized salt 1/3 tsp.
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil and flour(with cocoa powder) an 8 inch square pan.
2. Measure the oil, maple syrup, soy milk, and vanilla into a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, Sucanat, baking powder and salt.
4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula. Don’t overmix.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Put the batter in the pan and spread it out evenly from the top with a fork. Mess as little as possible with the batter.
7. Bake on top rack of oven for 35 minutes. Do not over-bake.
8. Cool for a minimum of 30 minutes before cutting.
