Vegan Brownies In a Snap

I love baking from scratch, but sometimes, when I just want something scrumptious and ridiculously tempting to sweeten up my kitchen, ready-to-mix products can help to accomplish that in a snap.

I "veganize" all of my dishes, so I am careful to look for mixes that contain vegan ingredients to start with and then just substitute with cruelty-free add-in ingredients. Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Brownie Mix is amazingly easy and so delicious!

I use Earth Balance "butter" instead of margarine or dairy butter (Earth Balance melts great and is excellent for baking) and Egg Replacer in lieu of the egg that the mix calls for.

I have found Egg Replacer to be a lifesaver when it comes to vegan baking. While there are a few recipes I have attempted that the ER wasn't completely ideal for, the majority of the time, it is an outstanding binder.

I usually crumble raw almonds over the top before popping it into the oven, for a yummy, nutty touch. Bake for 25 minutes and voila! ... instant smiles!

Happy Baking!
