Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats (blended into oat flour)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
If using, fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the brownies set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy your low-fat vegan brownies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
