Today I made cheesecake bars for my boyfriend, because I am a good person. I did not have Daiya on hand (which I have not even tested out in a baked capacity yet), so he got real cream cheese. I had a hankering for something sweet after dinner and decided to make myself brownies. I adapted my favorite brownie recipe to remove the little bit of dairy and they turned out pretty delicious! I couldn't even tell the difference.
Brownies
1/2 c white sugar
2 Tbsp coconut oil
2 Tbsp water
1 1/2 c dairy-free chocolate chips*
2 eggs
1/3 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 c flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 325 F
Melt sugar, coconut oil, and water in saucepan over medium heat
Remove from heat & stir in chocolate chips until melted/smooth
Mix in eggs & vanilla
Combine remaining dry ingredients and stir in to chocolate mixture
Pour batter into greased and floured 8x8 inch baking pan
Bake 25-30 minutes
You can mix in anything you like, such as cocoa nibs, nuts, etc
You can also top or swirl in other additives (today I swirled in some peanut butter on the top)
*I used mostly Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips, but was just short of 1 1/2 cups, so had to sub Chatfield's carob chips to make up the rest.
