Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the sugar until evenly combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Do not overmix; mix just until combined.
Fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly underbaked. This will ensure the brownies remain fudgy and gooey.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Cut into 9 squares and enjoy your chewy, gooey low fat vegan brownies!
