Chewy Vegan Brownies
I tried making brownies many times at high altitude. From a mix. From scratch. Classic baking. Modern style. Still brownies eluded me. I tried to veganize so many recipes but all I did was waste some quality chocolate. Then, I finally achieved success by using an already vegan recipe.
Servings: 16
Equipment
- 8 x 8-inch baking pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup organic sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup + 1 teaspoon almond milk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F. Line an 8 x 8" baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Place applesauce, maple syrup, milk, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add wet mixture to dry and fold in with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scrape batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, for 32-34 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack to cool before serving. Store at room temperature.
