Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken. This will act as your egg substitute.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
Add the almond milk, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract to the saucepan and whisk until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the saucepan, stirring gently until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold the flaxseed mixture into the batter until well distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Drizzle the dairy-free caramel sauce over the brownie batter and use a knife to create swirls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing them into squares.
Serve the brownies at room temperature and enjoy the rich blend of chocolate and caramel.
