Vegan chocolate brownies in your rice cooker

Not even a non-vegan could tell the difference

brownies

This is an outstanding dessert of vegan chocolate brownies which we searched high and low for and it cooked brilliantly on the cake baking setting of Sakura. Adapted from a recipe of Jami Oilver’s – vegan because one of us has a dairy allergy, adapted because it originally included nuts…the other one of us has a nut allergy!

Prep Time30 minsCook Time40 minsTotal Time1 hr 10 mins

 5 tbsp sunflower oil , plus extra for greasing
 200 g dairy-free dark chocolate (we used Lindt 70%)
 170 g self raising flour
 4 tsp cocoa powder
 180 g golden caster sugar
 1 pinch sea salt
 230 ml unsweetened organic soya milk

1

Break 150g of the chocolate and melt either in a heatproof bowl over a pan of water or by a quick
blast in the microwave. Leave to cool a little.

2

Grease your rice cooker inner bowl with a little sunflower oil. Sieve flour and cocoa powder into a
large bowl.

3

Add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir in the oil, plant milk and melted chocolate until mixed. Roughly chop the remaining 50g of chocolate and stir into the mixture

4

Pour into your rice cooker inner bowl. Smooth the top a little with a spoon and pat the bottom with a flat palm to settle the mixture.

5

Put on ’CAKE’ setting for 30-40 minutes. At 30 mins check with a toothpick, if it comes out clean it’s
ready, if not leave longer.

6

The top will still be quite soft, don’t worry about this! Leave to cool, tip out onto a plate, divide and serve
