Vegan Brownies - Chewy and Fudgy

Now, let’s talk about what you need to whip up these divine brownies:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar, if you’re feeling wild)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (because we need ALL the chocolate)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (you don’t need too much, just a pinch)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (this is the secret agent of moistness)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk you fancy)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for that extra oomph of flavor)
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional, but why would you skip this?)

Instructions:

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial. A warm oven is a happy oven!
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Let’s get those dry ingredients mingling.
  3. In another bowl, combine the applesauce, almond milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk it until it’s nice and combined. Be careful not to whisk too hard, we are not trying to summon the brownie gods.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Don’t overdo it; a little bit of lumps are totally okay and actually preferred, just like my love life!
  5. If you’re feeling extra chocolatey, fold in those vegan chocolate chips. Your brownie batter should be thick and glorious!
  6. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them; we want them fudgy, not rock hard. A toothpick should come out a bit gooey — that’s a sign of brownie perfection!
  8. Let them cool (if you can resist). Cut them into squares and serve them up, because you know you’ll be fighting over the last one!

And there you have it! In just a few steps, you’ve crafted some utterly indulgent vegan brownies. Get ready for everyone to gather around and ask for the recipe — because trust me, they won’t be able to resist!
