Fudgey Vegan Brownies (Shockingly Low-Fat!)

Need someone to fall in love with you or forgive you for something? Present them with these. Problems solved. Also, lest you be worried that they will not get that crackly brownie top, they do...yes they do. (Please use fair trade and organic chocolate from companies who are engaged in humane labor practices. Chocolate, like diamonds, is frequently produced at great human cost.)

Ingredients
1.5 c granulated vegan sugar
1 large overripe banana, mashed
2 T water
2 t flax meal
1/2 c water
2 t vanilla
2/3 c all purpose flour
2/3 c whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 t cinnamon
3/4 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 c vegan chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Use raw coconut oil to grease an 8x8" baking pan.

In a small bowl, mix the flax meal with 1/2 c water, whisk vigorously. Mix the sugar, banana, + 2 T water, vanilla and the flax "egg."

Sift the flours, cocoa powder, salt, cinnamon and baking powder together in a small bowl. Stir in 1/2 the chocolate chips. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just mixed.

Pour into the greased baking dish and top with the rest of the chocolate chips and bake for 45 minutes.
