Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) melted coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) sugar (coconut sugar or brown sugar works great)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) vegan chocolate chips (for extra gooeyness)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined—do not overmix!
  4. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey bite.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges look set but the center is slightly soft (they’ll firm up as they cool).
  7. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing for the perfect fudgy texture.

Tips for the Best Vegan Brownies:

  • For extra fudginess, refrigerate the brownies for an hour before serving.
  • For cakier brownies, add 1-2 more tbsp of plant milk.
  • Add-ins: Swirl in peanut butter, add chopped nuts, or sprinkle flaky sea salt on top!

These brownies are chocolate heaven—rich, chewy, and ridiculously good! 🍫😋
