Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
Binding and Moisture Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Create a flaxseed egg by combining flaxseed with water and allowing it to thicken for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 7-11 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Gently melt vegan butter and let it cool down slightly.
- Combine melted butter with both sugar varieties, whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and prepared flaxseed mixture, whisking thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Carefully sift flour and cocoa powder into the wet ingredients, then add salt and baking powder. Mix minimally to prevent overworking the batter.
- Gently fold half of the chocolate pieces into the batter, then transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle remaining chocolate chunks across the top of the batter for additional texture and flavor.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a slightly jiggly center which indicates perfect moisture content.
- Allow brownies to rest in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let sit for an additional 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Flaxseed hack works perfectly as an egg replacement, creating rich moisture without animal products.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for deeper, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire brownie experience.
- Avoid overmixing batter to prevent tough, dense brownies – gentle folding keeps texture fudgy and tender.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular flour with almond or oat flour, maintaining the decadent chocolate profile.
