Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 6 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. This will be your flax egg.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the flax egg, vanilla extract, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar to the sugar mixture, and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. Serve and enjoy your vegan dark chocolate brownies!
