About the Recipe
These vegan brownies are everything you love about a classic brownie—rich, chocolatey, and perfectly sweet—but with a plant-based twist! They have a slightly cake-like texture that melts in your mouth, and you can easily customize them with extra chocolate or nuts. Best of all, they’re made without any oil, so they’re lighter, but just as indulgent!
Ingredients
1 cup of water
4 tablespoons of ground flax
1 cup white sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of Instant Baking Mix
1 cup of unsweetened cacao powder
Optional: Vegan chocolate chips and/or walnuts
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F and oil a 7X11 pan.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the ground flax, vanilla extract, and water, then set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, Baking Mix, and cacao powder. Mix until well combined and free of lumps.
Step 4
Slowly pour the flax mixture, vanilla, and water over the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5
If adding extra chocolate or nuts, gently fold them in before pouring the batter into the prepared pan.
Step 6
Bake for 30–45 minutes. The brownies may look undercooked but will firm up as they cool. Let them cool for 30 minutes before serving.
