Vegan Maple Walnut Brownies

Happy labor day!



These went over quite well this weekend. Three years ago this little boy of ours was born in the kitchen in the wee hours after labor day, and this year he helped out in the kitchen making these delicious brownies in celebration :) He's taken quite an interest in the baking process....Enjoy~

1 1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. maple syrup
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 c. water ( i used grain coffee I had left over, not sure if it made a difference as I haven't made yet without.)
1/3 c. oil (i used safflower)
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350. Sift together flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder. Add maple syrup, vanilla, water, oil and walnuts and mix together gently. Spoon into lightly oiled 8x8" pan and bake 25-30 min.
