Vegan Brownies on the Stove

Unfussy Vegan Brownies– satisfy that chocolate craving with these straightforward to make VEGAN Brownies! It takes no time to whip these together and no one will EVER even know that they’re vegan:D

All of your chocolatey dreams are coming true today in the form of these satisfying, fudgy, decadent BROWNIES!

If you follow me on Instagram (lets be friends!!) then you may have remembered that I teased these brownies about a month ago. The stories that I posted went viral and about 40k views later + HUNDREDS of messages asking for the recipe I decided to go ahead and post it on my feed.

I’m truly excited to see more of you making these Vegan Brownies because they’re SO SO GOOOOOD!!

I’ve been working on this dish for YEARS. Like truly years. And finally, it’s reliable. RELIABLE!

I wanted them to have the reliable balance of soft and cakey + thick and fudgy. These brownies landed right in the middle and I can’t tell you how freakin’ much A regular here them.

Because I know that I’m going to be asked “Can I make these brownies with gluten free flour!?” let me go ahead and answer that question: the only gluten free flour that I have tested with these brownies is a gluten free 1-1 substitute such as Bob’s Red Mills brand or Cup4Cup. I have NOT however tried these brownies with almond, coconut, oat or any other kind of gluten free flour besides the 1-1 substitutes. So, proceed with those other flours at your own risk:D

How to make Vegan Brownies:

While it does take a few different bowls to whip these brownies together, they’re still truly unfussy!

Start out by combining the flax meal and water to make a vegan flax egg.

Next, place the chocolate (I like to use extra dark but any vegan chocolate will work) in a bowl with the vegan butter and melt it. You can either do this in the microwave or in a double boiler.

In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients before then folding in the chocolate mixture, flax egg, and remaining wet ingredients. Mix until simply combined and then pour the batter into a prepared pan to bake. Bake and ENJOY!

The GO-TO Vegan Brownies that you will ever make!!

  • Serves 12 brownies
  • Prep 10 minutes
  • Cook 25 minutes
  • Total 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal
  • ⅓ cup of cold water
  • ½ cup 80g of dark chocolate
  • ½ cup 4oz vegan butter, I prefer the earth balance vegan butter sticks in this method
  • 1 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons (190g of all purpose flour)
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (50g of cocoa powder)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup 110g of white sugar
  • ½ cup 110g of light brown sugar, packed
  • ¾ cup 150ml of plant based milk, I used a plain almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Method

  1. 1

    Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×9 inch baking tray with parchment paper and spray generously with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the ground flaxseed meal and the cold water. Let sit to thicken.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, add in the dark chocolate and vegan butter and melt in the microwave in 30 second increments until completely melted (mine took simply 1 minute). You can also do this in a double boiler. Set aside.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in the white and brown sugar.

  5. 5

    Fold in the flaxseed mixture, chocolate mixture, almond milk, and vanilla. Stir until only combined.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and bake for 25-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Mine was reliable at 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Let cool slightly and ENJOY!

Cook notes

You can make these in an 8×8 pan (although the 9×9 is more ideal) but they may need a few extra minutes to bake
