Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup coconut cream
- 0.25 cup vegan butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake as the brownies continue to cook as they cool.
While the brownies are baking, prepare the chocolate frosting. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut cream and vegan butter together, stirring until smooth.
Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the brownies have cooled to room temperature, spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top.
Cut the brownies into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy your vegan classic brownies!
