In the Kitchen W/ Kelly: Hemp Brownies

Hope is like making hemp brownies. You hope that they will be good. And they are never as scrumptious as the quadruple fudge oreo behemoths you could be eating.

But does that stop anyone?


No. That is why if you perchance find a box of Nature's Path Hemp Plus Organic Brownie Mix (such a rarity can be procured at Natural Goodness Market in Rittenhouse) you should understand that it's whole wheat and will require some doctoring in the moisture department.

Good thing I went with the optional addition of egg substitute. Even then, these were drier than I like, on the chewy side, with hemp seeds to add texture and a nutty flavor. For a gooey, sludgier dessert, use silken tofu like this smart blogchef did.

Much sexier. If you still end up with a subpar brownie, re-fucking-lax. The only reason to really bake brownies is to lick the remaining batter from the beater. It may not be a Vegan Treats brownie, but there are 3 grams of fiber in these things. Plus, hemp is your Omega-3 haul. Not a bad make.
