These fudgy vegan brownies are rich, moist, and packed with chocolate flavor, made without any eggs or dairy. Using ground flaxseed mixed with brewed coffee to mimic eggs, and coconut sugar for sweetness, these brownies are a perfect plant-based treat. They bake to a soft, dense texture with melty vegan chocolate chips throughout, making them an irresistible dessert or snack option.

Ingredients

Flax Egg

  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 6 tablespoon brewed coffee (can use water as substitute)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 6 tablespoon vegan butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup vegan chocolate chips (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of brownies after baking.
  2. Make Flax Egg: In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with brewed coffee and let it sit for 10 minutes. This mixture will thicken into a gel-like consistency, acting as a vegan egg substitute to bind the brownies.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Using either a microwave-safe bowl or a stovetop double boiler, gently melt 1 cup of the vegan chocolate chips until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the softened vegan butter and coconut sugar until smooth and creamy. Then add the prepared flax egg, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the batter is glossy and uniform.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder into the wet mixture. Stir gently and mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the remaining 1 cup of vegan chocolate chips to disperse them evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Bake: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 27 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 even pieces. This ensures clean cuts and the best fudgy texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute brewed coffee with water if you prefer a milder flavor, though coffee enhances the chocolate taste.
  • Using coconut sugar adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness, but you can substitute with brown sugar if necessary.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the brownies tender.
  • Letting brownies cool completely is essential for a fudgy consistency and easier slicing.
