I've been making the same vegan chocolate brownie recipe for almost two decades. Recently, I decided to try a new recipe, since I have added eggs to my diet. I searched the internet and found a recipe that promised to be the best brownies; however, they did not compare to my vegan recipe. Whether you are a vegan or not, these vegan chocolate brownies are quick, simple, and delicious.

Vegan Chocolate Pecan Brownies


Mix and cook on low heat until thick. Cool completely:

  • 1/3 cup flour

  • 1 cup water


In a separate pot, melt:

  • 1/2 cup margarine


Add and stir until smooth, then cool completely:

  • 2/3 cup organic cocoa powder


Into the cooled flour mixture, beat:

  • 2 cups organic sugar

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1 tsp. vanilla

  • cocoa mixture


Mix together, then add to the above mixture:

  • 2 cups organic flour

  • 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)


Place in an oiled 9" x 13" glass pan, then top with whole pecans or walnuts halves. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Optional: dust with powdered sugar after removing from the oven.
