On December 14, 2023 by userHere’s a simple and delightful recipe for vegan brownies:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
- Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- If you’re using chocolate chips or chunks, fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the batter for added texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remember that baking times may vary, so keep an eye on them.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares or rectangles.
- Enjoy your delicious vegan brownies with a glass of plant-based milk or your favorite dairy-free ice cream!
These vegan brownies are fudgy, rich, and satisfying – perfect for indulging your sweet tooth without using any animal products. Feel free to customize them by adding your favorite nuts or other mix-ins. Happy baking!
