Description

The BEST vegan brownie recipe out there, this triple-punch of chocolate is sure to satisfy any chocolate craving. A crispy-crackly crust covers a moist and fudgy center filled with chocolate chips and walnuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp water, divided
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips + an (optional) additional 1/2 cup, divided
  • 7 Tbsp cocoa powder (not Dutch processed)
  • 3 Tbsp applesauce
  • 3 Tbsp vegan margarine (1 1/2 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8″ baking pan with parchment (or grease very well) and set aside.
  2. Combine the flours, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. Combine the flax and water in a small bowl to make a flax egg, and set aside.
  4. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 2/3 cup chocolate chips with the cocoa powder, applesauce, margarine, and 1/4 cup water. Toss together but don’t worry about mixing thoroughly.
  5. Place in the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is mostly melted, stirring well between each interval. This should take no more than 2 minutes total. When it’s melted, you might see some small non-melted looking bits all over – this is okay.
  6. Add the sugar to the chocolate mixture and stir to mix well. Add the flax egg and the vanilla, and stir until smooth.
  7. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, and stir with a large spoon until just combined. The batter may be very thick. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Smooth the top with the back of a large spoon, making sure to press it into all of the corners.
  9. Bake for 27-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack before serving. Try not to eat them all in one sitting!
