Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup organic cane sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flax egg)
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or electric mixer
- 8×8 inch baking pan
- Parchment paper or non-stick spray
- Cooling rack
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Alternatively, grease the pan lightly with coconut oil.
- Prepare the flax egg: In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens. This acts as your egg substitute.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the sugar and mix well to combine evenly.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, flax egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the brownies tender.
- Stir in vegan chocolate chips if using, for an extra melty, chocolatey surprise.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain fudginess.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack before slicing into squares.
Tips & Variations
For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. You can also swirl in vegan peanut butter or almond butter before baking for extra flavor.
Try swapping coconut oil for vegan butter if you prefer a buttery richness. If you want a gluten-free option, use a certified gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
For an ultra-fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies and allow them to set as they cool. You can also sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a delightful sweet-salty contrast.
Looking for a healthier sweetener? Maple syrup or agave nectar can replace sugar, but reduce the almond milk slightly to keep the batter consistency right.
