    TIPS FOR MAKING THESE SIMPLE VEGAN BROWNIES

    DON'T OVER-MIX YOUR BROWNIES

    Over-mixing your brownie mixture will cause them to have an unappetising texture. Just make sure your brownie batter is fully incorporated.

    BAKE FOR LESS TIME IF YOU LIKE THEM GOOIER

    Take 5 minutes off the total baking time if you prefer your vegan brownies to be a little wetter.

    WHAT ARE BROWNIES?

    Brownies are a chocolatey baked treat made primarily from flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and milk. As mine are vegan, I of course, used plant milk.

    WHY I LOVE THIS EASY VEGAN CHOCOLATE BROWNIES RECIPE

    I love these vegan chocolate brownies because of the nostalgia that they provide. Like I have previously said, these aren't the fanciest brownies that you're ever going to eat but they are just SO comforting. I loved school brownies and maybe that's why.

    Have you tried my vegan rocky road bars and vegan banana brownies yet? Give them a try!

    WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS RECIPE

    • It's so simple. Anybody is capable of making this recipe, no matter what your baking ability level is.
    • The brownies are so chocolatey. This brownie recipe contains a generous amount of cocoa powder which gives the cakes a rich taste. I think it's the perfect amount but I may be biased!

    HELPFUL TOOLS FOR MAKING THESE EASY VEGAN BROWNIES

    • 2 Medium-sized Bowls
    • 6x6 Inch Baking Pan

    RECIPE VARIATIONS & SUBSITUTIONS

    • Leave your vegan chocolate brownies in the oven for less time. If you like your brownies a little more moist, leave them in the oven for at least five minutes less time. The less you leave them in, the more gooey they'll be but make sure the flour is cooked!

    Recipe FAQs

    How do I make my brownies more chewy and not cakey?

    You do this by adding more vegan fats and decreasing the amount of flour. For example, changing the vegan butter to flour ratio. Removing the baking powder will also make the cakey textures less noticeable.

    Why are my brownies dry?

    You may have over-baked them which will cause them to become dry. You may have underbaked them then sliced too soon. This causes the brownies to loose moisture.

    HOW TO STORE

    Store for up to 5 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
