Ingredients
Key Ingredients for Fudgy Vegan Brownies
- 1 cup 120g all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour if needed)
- 1/2 cup 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup 150g granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier alternative)
- 1/2 cup 120ml almond milk (or any other plant-based milk, like oat or soy)
- 1/2 cup 120ml coconut oil, melted (or vegan butter)
- 1/4 cup 60ml maple syrup (adds natural sweetness and extra moisture)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup 90g dairy-free chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
Optional Add-Ins for Customization
- 1/4 cup 30g chopped walnuts or pecans (for added crunch)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor
- 1/4 cup 30g dried cranberries or shredded coconut (for a unique twist)
Instructions
Mix the Batter for Perfect Fudgy Texture
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In your mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Sifting helps to eliminate clumps and ensures even mixing.
- Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding them together with a spatula. Avoid over-mixing, as this can lead to dense brownies.
- Add the Final Touch: Stir in dairy-free chocolate chips or your favorite add-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
Bake to Perfection
- Getting the bake just right ensures your brownies are fudgy and irresistible.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C): Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- Check for Doneness: Around the 25-minute mark, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter), they’re ready.
- Cool Before Slicing: Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Cooling helps them firm up, making it easier to cut clean slices.
