The Rolodex of Ingredients
Pour yourself a cup of aromatic tea, roll up those sleeves, and gather your ingredients.
- 2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
- A teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of ground turmeric
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of plant-based butter, melted
- 1 cup of almond milk
- 3 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts
Stirring the Pot: Instructions
Let’s embark on this edible adventure:
Set the stage. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a brownie pan and line it with parchment paper. Ensuring every nook and cranny is coated, the paper will serve as our magic carpet, effortlessly lifting our finished brownies from the pan.
Stir the dry. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, turmeric, sugar, and salt. Through this process, we’re ensuring every bite of our brownies is consistently bursting with flavor.
Blend the wet. In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. This buttery batch is our brownie’s building block, imbuing it with a hint of sweetness and a touch of vanilla.
Combine the duos. Slowly, add the wet mixture to the dry, stirring until you have a harmonious blend. Now’s the time to add the walnuts to our batter, adding an extra layer of texture to our gooey brownies.
Into the oven. Pour your batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Pop this into your oven and let it bake for about 35-40 minutes. The inviting aroma filling your kitchen is a precursor to the delight that awaits your tastebuds.
