    Tips For Making Vegan Brownies

    Eat The Brownies Warm

    I can't stress this enough. These brownies taste great warm as they are very fudgy and very chocolatey. If you prefer them cooler, that's also fine.

    Substitute For Crunchy Peanut Butter

    If you opt to use crunchy peanut butter instead, you're in for a great surprise. These brownies taste great with a crunch on top to go with the chocolate flavours.

    I'm aware that not everybody likes it this way and therefore, they recipe calls for regular peanut butter.

    How To Store These Peanut Butter Brownies

    Store these vegan brownies at room temperature for up to two days or in the fridge for up to four days.

    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    For the brownie batter:

    • 165g all-purpose flour
    • 120g cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 0.25 teaspoon salt
    • 100g granulated sugar
    • 100g light brown sugar
    • 150g vegan butter (melted)
    • 250ml soy milk
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 60g vegan chocolate chips

    Peanut Butter Swirl:

    • 150g smooth peanut butter
    • 20g vegan butter (melted)
    • 60g powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius (356F).
    2. Line a 9-inch, square baking tin with parchment paper then set aside.

    Make the brownie batter: 

    1. To a large bowl, add the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix till combined.
    2. Next, in a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated and light brown sugars and vegan butter.
    3. Next, pour in the soy milk and vanilla extract and mix again.
    4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and fold them together until a smooth brownie batter forms. Also fold in the chocolate chips.

    Make the peanut butter swirl mixture:

    1. In a bowl, mix all four of the peanut butter swirl ingredients until combined.

    Assemble & bake the brownies: 

    1. Spoon the brownie batter into the lined baking tin. Spoon dollops of the peanut butter swirl mixture on top then use the back of a knife or a skewer to swirl it into the brownie mixture.
    2. Bake the brownies for 20 minutes in the centre of your oven.
    3. Allow the peanut butter brownies to cool in the baking tray for 10 minutes then serve warm. I like to have mine with dairy free ice cream.
