Dessert - Vegan brownie dessert by Iolanda N. - Recipia

The vegan brownie is prepared in a single bowl, without eggs, milk, or butter. The dough is simply mixed, and the raisins, peach jam, and banana give it texture and flavor. For measurement, the same tea cup is used for all the indicated ingredients. After baking, the cake should be allowed to cool before cutting, as the composition is softer while warm. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified in the original recipe Baking time: 40-50 minutes Total time: 40-50 minutes, plus cooling time Servings: about 20 pieces, depending on how it is cut Difficulty: easy Recipe type: vegan dessert, homemade cake Ingredients 4 cups of flour 2 cups of sugar 1 cup of oil 2 cups of water 200 g of raisins 6 tablespoons of cocoa 1 packet of baking powder with saffron Grated zest of one lemon A pinch of salt 1 jar of 400 g peach jam 1 banana of about 170 g, sliced 150 g of walnuts, roughly chopped For this recipe, the tea cup is used as a measure for both dry and liquid ingredients. It is important to use the same cup throughout the preparation to maintain proportions. Preparation method 1. Prepare the tray and oven Preheat the oven to medium heat. Line a 25 x 35 cm tray with baking paper. The tray should be prepared before mixing the composition, as the dough is poured immediately after it is homogenized. 2. Mix the dry ingredients In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder with saffron, salt, and grated lemon zest. Mix them until evenly distributed. 3. Add the liquid ingredients Pour the oil and water over the dry ingredient mixture. Homogenize the composition, ensuring there are no areas with unincorporated flour. The dough should be well mixed before adding the remaining ingredients. 4. Incorporate the raisins, jam, and banana Add the raisins, peach jam, and sliced banana to the mixture. Mix again until the ingredients are spread throughout the dough. There is no need for separate preparation of the raisins or banana; they are added directly to the mixture. 5. Pour the dough into the tray Transfer the composition to the prepared tray and level it somewhat. Sprinkle the roughly chopped walnuts on top, ensuring they cover the surface as evenly as possible. 6. Bake the brownie Place the tray in the preheated oven at medium heat and bake the cake for 40-50 minutes. The exact duration may vary, so check the cake towards the end of the interval. The brownie is ready when it passes the toothpick test. 7. Let the cake cool Remove the tray from the oven and let the cake cool. Once cooled, cut the brownie into portions. Why I make this recipe often It is a practical vegan cake, with easily found ingredients and a straightforward preparation method. It does not require additional creams or decorations, and the jam, banana, raisins, and walnuts provide enough texture and flavor. It can be prepared when you need a simple dessert for multiple people, as the 25 x 35 cm tray yields enough portions. Tips and variations Tips Use the same tea cup for all volume measurements. It is not recommended to switch cups from one ingredient to another, as proportions may change. Respect the tray size of 25 x 35 cm. If you use a tray of different dimensions, the thickness of the cake and baking time may vary. The toothpick test is done towards the end of baking. If the toothpick comes out with traces of raw composition, leave the cake in the oven and check again. Let the brownie cool before cutting. While hot, it can be more difficult to cut. The walnuts are placed on top after the dough has been poured into the tray, not mixed into the composition. Substitutions The original recipe uses peach jam, baking powder with saffron, and quantities measured with a tea cup. To maintain the taste and proportions of the recipe, it is safest to follow these ingredients exactly as indicated. No substitutions for jam, walnuts, banana, or baking powder are specified in the original recipe. Variations The recipe is presented in a single version, with raisins, peach jam, banana, and walnuts. To achieve a result as close to the original as possible, keep the combination and order of preparation indicated. Serving ideas The brownie is served after cooling, cut into squares or rectangles. It can be placed on a platter, alongside coffee or tea, as a vegan dessert. It does not need an additional layer of cream or decoration to be portioned and served. Frequently asked questions 1. What size should the tray be? For this quantity, a 25 x 35 cm tray lined with baking paper is used. The tray size helps achieve the right thickness and influences the baking time. 2. How long should the vegan brownie bake? The indicated time is 40-50 minutes, at medium heat, in the preheated oven. The final check is done with a toothpick, not just after the exact minute. 3. Can I cut the cake immediately after taking it out of the oven? It is better to let it cool before cutting. While hot, the composition is more difficult to cut, and the pieces may crumble. 4. When is the walnut added? The roughly chopped walnut is sprinkled on top of the composition after the dough has been poured into the tray and before placing it in the oven. 5. How do I check if it is baked? Insert a toothpick into the cake towards the end of the baking time. If it passes the toothpick test, the brownie can be removed from the oven. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and are calculated for approximately 20 servings. They may vary based on the size of the cup used, the brand of ingredients, and the exact amount of jam or walnuts in each piece. For a serving of approximately 1/20 of the cake: Calories: approximately 400-420 kcal Protein: approximately 4 g Fat: approximately 16 g Carbohydrates: approximately 60-65 g Fiber: approximately 3-4 g Most of the calories come from sugar, oil, flour, jam, and walnuts. The raisins, banana, cocoa, and walnuts also contribute to the total amount of carbohydrates and fiber. Storage and reheating After cooling, keep the brownie covered to prevent it from drying out. It can be served at room temperature and usually does not need to be reheated. If you prefer the cake slightly warm, heat only the desired portion without warming the entire tray. Covering is especially useful after cutting, when the surface can dry out more quickly.
