vegan brownies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and brown sugar.
4. Add the wet ingredients – vegetable oil and vanilla extract – to the sugar mixture and whisk until combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
9. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

• For extra fudgy brownies, underbake them slightly.
• Using a good quality cocoa powder will enhance the chocolate flavor.
• Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
