Mini Chocolate Walnut Brownie Cakes topped with Orange Ginger Cayenne Cookies

Yeah, I came up with this because I’m awesome and I wanted to make something cool for my roommates birthday because she loves sweets and spicy food. Plus, I’m going to share with you how to make these little cuties so you can make your own!

Okay, first we’re going to make the brownie base. This recipe makes two dozen cupcake size treats so you’ll need enough cupcake pans for that. In a large bowl add and mix the following ingredients.

• 1 1/2 cup: unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup: unbleached raw sugar
• 1/2 cup: unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon: baking powder
• 1 teaspoon: salt
• 3/4 cup: water
• 3/4 cup: vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon: vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup: crushed walnut

Once you’ve got that mixed up, spray your cupcake pans with a light coat of oil and then scoop the mix with a large spoon into each section so each looks to be about 1/4 to 1/3 full. At this time, go ahead and preheat the oven to 350. Next, make the cookie batter by adding and mixing up the following list of ingredients in a large bowl.

• 1/3 cup: almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 1 tablespoon: flax seeds
• 1 cup: unbleached raw sugar
• 1/3 cup: brown sugar
• 1/2 cup: vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon: vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon: ground orange zest
• 1 teaspoon: ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon: ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon: ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon: ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon: salt
• 1 3/4 cups: unbleached all-purpose flour

Once you’ve got all that mixed up, using a small cookie scooper, drop a scoop of the cookie batter mix on top of each of your brownie mixes. They’ll have a slightly different consistency at this point and you can kind of push the cookie mix down a little so that the brownies hug the cookie mix. After all that, put them on in the oven on the center rack and bake them for about 30 minutes then let cool for about 10 minutes and enjoy!

If you have any of the cookie mix left over, you can use the cookie scooper with the rest and place on a cookie sheet and bake them for about 20 minutes.

Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Brownies

I was in the mood for something sweet and felt like trying something new so I took an old recipe and spiced it up a little. This takes almost no time to throw together. Then just throw it in the oven and you’ll have a lot of yummy treats in half an hour.

• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 cups raw unbleached sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 bananas
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350.
2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Spread evenly into a 9x13 pan. (I used two 7x11 pans so mine were a little thinner)
4. Bake 25-30 minutes.
5. Let cool for 10 minutes than enjoy!

Vegan Strawberry and Chocolate Brownies

I haven’t made this in a while. I don’t eat a ton of sweets but I was craving something fruity and flavorful.

Basically, I had this idea a while back and I made these by combining two different recipes.

The strawberry part is actually using Duncan Hines strawberry cake mix. In one bowl, I used half of the mix and halved the egg/water/oil ratio as well using the Ener-G egg replacer. I used a little extra oil and egg replacer to make it a little thicker.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Then in the other bowl for the chocolate brownie part mix all of these together:

1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unbleached sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

First add your strawberry mix to an oiled 9”x13” baking pan and spread evenly. Then add your chocolate mix on top and try and cover the upper portion of the strawberry mix. By now your oven should be ready. Put them in for about 30 minutes, take them out and let them cool for a while and enjoy!
