I was using up a box of Fiber One cereal (really, I don't need any extra fiber on this vegan diet, but thought this would be a fun way to use up the box) and some Jif peanut butter. So I invented these funny brownies. I was thinking they'd be more like bar cookies, but when they came out of the oven, they looked like a delicious pan of brownies. You could substitute another cereal for the Fiber One.
- 2 c. Fiber One cereal, soaked thoroughly in water from 1-24 hours. Include soaking water in the recipe.
- 1 c. Bisquick (it's vegan!)
- 1/2 c. dry rolled oats
- 4 heaping Tbsp. cocoa powder
- 1/2 c. Sugar in the Raw (White sugar is often processed through animal bones. You can increase the sugar if you want sweeter brownies.)
- 1/2 c. chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 c. flax seeds, ground to a meal (these will replace eggs)
- 3 Tbsp. water
Combine all ingredients except the last two (flax seeds and water) in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix water with flax seeds, and whisk with a fork until thick and a bit frothy. Add your flax seed "egg replacer" to the big mixture. Spread in a 9x13" greased pan. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F. Brownies will initially be gooey, but will solidify a bit when cooled.
They needed a little something, so I poured brown rice syrup on mine. The syrup is mildly sweet and tastes a bit like caramel. Soy or coconut (non-dairy) ice cream would've been yummy, too.

The finished product. I was surprised how good it looked!
