The Best Ever Vegan Brownies

Honestly, this is the best vegan brownie recipe ever! The perfect chocolate squares are fudgy, gooey, and easy to make. You will never buy a boxed brownie mix again!

Ingredients

for 9 servings

  • 8 oz vegan chocolate (225 g)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup sugar (200 g), plus 2 tablespoons
  • ½ cup vegan butter (115 g), melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (95 g), plus 2 tablespoons
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (30 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt


Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.

Chop the chocolate into ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) pieces. Set aside half and melt the other half in a microwave-safe bowl for 45 seconds.

Make the flax egg: combine the ground flaxseeds with the water in a small bowl and mix with a fork. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to gel.

In a medium bowl, add the sugar and vegan butter and whisk until smooth. Then add the vanilla, flax eggs, and melted chocolate and whisk until well-combined.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and fold with a spatula until all ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix. Then, stir in the reserved chocolate pieces.

Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.

Slice into 9 equal-sized pieces and serve.

Enjoy!
