Yummy Chocolate Brownies

Since I had nothing to do today other than be hungover I decided to make brownies!!







The recipe:


  • 5 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus extra for greasing
  • 200 g dairy-free dark chocolate
  • 170 g self-raising flour
  • 3 heaped teaspoons cocoa powder
  • 180 g golden caster sugar
  • sea salt
  • 1 vanilla pod (I used vanilla essence)
  • 230 ml unsweetened soya milk

    Firstly get all your ingredients together and preheat the oven at 180 degrees!


    Put on a cute apron!



    Melt your chocolate:




    Mix your dry ingredients together:


    Add your melted chocolate and the soy milk and give it a good stir!:


    Put in a tray:


    Put in the oven for around 20 minutes..and boom!



    Oh and dont forget to lick the spoons



    Put on a nice dish with some cream and you are in vegan brownie heaven!



    What did I eat today?- January 1st

    January 1st


    So I'm going to try and document my vegan noms every day...I work full time so i might forget, but since today is new years day and I've not changed out of my pyjamas, I thought ooh I'll document my food and take pictures!..go me!

    Brunch:

    As seen in an earlier post:
    Hash browns, Toast, Vegetable sausages, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Spaghetti hoops, Sweet Chilli sauce and Ketchup. With a pint of orange juice! My poor hungover body needed this today!!



    Dinner/Tea   (if you're a southerner like me!!)

    So as I have been a hungover bunny today..I was Lazy! I grabbed a pre made enchilada out of the freezer and shoved it in the oven! It was an Amys kitchen product which I bought from Holland and Barrett. It was my first time having this and it was nice, flavorsome and easy to prepare, however I remember it being nearly £3 and therefore not something id rush to buy again. With my enchiladas I had a sweet potato, some pickled beetroot, steamed garlic mushrooms, spinach, salad cream ( asda light is vegan!) and some sweet onion relish. It was really nice!!

    Pre Cooking

    Amy's Kitchen Enchiladas

    The final result: Enchiladas, Sweet potato, mushrooms, spinach and beetroot

    Overall this was a really nice easy meal. I do prefer to cook though, so I wont be having this again in January


    Pudding!!! (best part)

    So today I had nothing to do..so I thought id bake (see blog post on how to make brownies). I used a Jamie Oliver recipe and made brownies , these make a great pudding and snack, plus i have a chum coming to stay tomorrow so these are perfect for eating with friends!

    Home Made brownie with Schlagfix whipped cream on Nannys china!






    Schlagfix..a wonderfully named German whipped cream for vegans. Its by far the best I've tried. I bought this from VX (Vegan cross) in London when I went back for Christmas!



    Overall I've had a good day with lots of comfort food to get through that post NYE hangover!

    Nom Nom Nom

    Hope you are all recovering!!
