Chocolate Chip Brownies

 

Ingredients

· 1 cup canola oil

· 1 cup pure maple syrup

· 1/2 cup soy milk

· 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

· 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

· 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

· 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

· 3/4 cup cane sugar

· 1/2 cup Sucanat

· 2 teaspoons baking powder

· 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt

· 1 cup lightly toasted walnuts, chopped

· 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

 

Steps

1) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 12-by-17.5-inch jelly-roll pan.

2) In a medium bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, soy milk, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.

3) In a separate bowl, sift together the flours, cocoa, sugar, Suncanat, baking powder, and salt.

4) Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula, taking care not to over-mix. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.

5) Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a moistened spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until surface cracks appear and the brownies are not quite set. Do not overbake the brownies will set as they cool.

6) Transfer the pan to a rack to cool, then cut into 20 bars.
