Vegan brownies are the perfect dessert for those seeking a healthier and animal-friendly alternative. They’re made with plant-based ingredients like coconut oil, peanut butter, and cocoa powder that provide an equally delicious yet more nutritious treat. Plus, they’re free of eggs and dairy products.
These vegan brownies are gluten-free and made with beneficial ingredients like coconut oil, flaxseed, and peanut butter.
Coconut oil is full of healthy fats that can help keep you feeling full while providing essential vitamins and minerals.
Flaxseed takes the place of eggs and helps to add a boost of fiber and protein.
Peanut butter provides an extra layer of creamy sweetness that pairs perfectly with cocoa powder.
These vegan brownies are a delicious and guilt-free treat that can be enjoyed by vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. So come on in and give these vegan brownies a try.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup water
- ⅔ cup + 2 tablespoon non-dairy milk
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- ⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a 9’’ x 13’’ baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
Add the flaxseed mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and sugar. Whisk well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, cacao powder, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the brownie.
Baking Time
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the center is set. Longer baking results in a moist but spongy brownie, and shorter baking in a fudgy texture.
Let the brownies cool completely before serving.
Tips
- Serve these brownies as a delicious dessert with a scoop of vegan ice cream on top.
- Delicious add-on: add some chopped walnuts on top of the brownie before baking it.
- Store these brownies in a sealed bag for up to four days over the counter, or seven days in the fridge.
