Super veganlicious birthday brownie!!!

I think we started a tradition of birthday brownies. Which is a lovely thing! 1. I hate making cake 2. Brownies kick cakes ass any day off the week; especially brownies with chocolate chunks and walnuts!!!! Found a super tasty vegan brownie recipe for Avery's 3rd birthday.
And guess what it's time to share!

Ingredients:

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in water, vegetable oil and vanilla; mix until well blended. Spread evenly in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

I think I used 1/4cup less sugar maybe up too 1/2 cup less, Ghirardelli baking chocolate, and REAL vanilla extract. I added vegan chocolate chunks & walnuts. I prefer thicker brownies so a 8x11 pan is a must; I almost had to double baking time, but it was worth it.
The kids had a blast putting the ingredients in the mixer And the look on the birthday boys face when they were finished cooking was price less!
