One of our uber BFF's Matthew Lush has turned us on with vegan recipes including this one for chewy fudge browines!

Makes 20 brownies

1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup water
1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350oF.

Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir in the wet ingredients. If desired, add chocolate chips and/or chopped walnuts to the mix.

Pour mixture into a greased 9"- x 13"-inch baking pan, and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. (For moister brownies, bake 20 to 25 minutes.)

Let the brownies cool slightly before serving.
