Chewy Vegan Brownies
Learn how to make chewy vegan brownies with this simple recipe. Rich, fudgy, and irresistible, perfect for any chocolate lover!
Ingredients
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil melted or vegan butter
- ½ cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Egg Replacement:
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water flax egg
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, almond milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Slowly sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt into the mixture, ensuring even distribution. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently incorporate the vegan chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch brownie pan by lining it with parchment paper. Transfer the batter to the pan, smoothing it into an even layer with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few damp crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into slices. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, add an extra ¼ cup of melted vegan chocolate to the batter.
- You can substitute coconut oil with any neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond milk with oat milk or soy milk.
- To make gluten-free brownies, use a gluten-free flour blend.
