"Official" Knutson Vegan Brownies

The title as declared by Austin.



And honestly, I just threw everything together. Apparently these are a keeper. They're gooey and chocolatey, and Austin has declared that they can finally take the place of "real" brownies.

1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder (can be subbed for more carob)
1/4 cup carob powder (can be subbed with more flour)
1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour (can be subbed with another flour)
1/4 ground flaxseed
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 spotted banana, mashed
1/2-3/4 cups brown rice syrup (can sub other syrup/nectar)
1/2-1 cup applesauce
2 droppers full of liquid stevia
1/4 cup chopped unsweetened chocolate
1/4-1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts

Mix all dry ingredients, and then add in wet ingredients, checking for consistency and flavor. Texture should be thick, but smooth and gooey. Stir in chocolate and hazelnuts last. Pour into brownie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until firm. Brownies will be super soft and will fall apart easily when cut until completely cooled. Enjoy!
