Yummy Vegan Brownies

I created this recipe for my buddy Holly- a seasoned vegan with a love for chocolate. They are super simple to make, as the ingredients can all be combined in one bowl, before being transferred to a brownie tray for baking. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 banana (the perfect substitute for egg!)
1 cup of unrefined sugar (Demerera works best)
1 cup of soya margarine ('Pure' margarine is ideal)
5 heaped tablespoons of cocoa
1 cup of plain flour
1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon

1) Combine the margarine and sugar in a large bowl, until fully blended.
2) Mash the banana and add to the mixture.
3) Sieve the cocoa, flour and cinnamon into the bowl and stir until the mixture is smooth and of even consistency.
4) Pour into a prepared brownie tin and place into a preheated oven at 180 degrees-Celsius.
5) Bake for 15-18 minutes (or until a skewer inserted halfway between the centre and the side comes out clean). Remember- brownies are supposed to be squidgy in the middle, so DO NOT OVERCOOK!
6) Cut the brownie into 12-16 pieces. Enjoy alone or served with ice cream for a quick and tasty dessert!
