1-Getting started: with vegan brownies is as easy as turning on your oven, and you’ll love how these steps lead to a tasty result every time! First, make flax eggs by stirring 4 tablespoons ground flaxseed and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl; let it thicken for a few minutes. Then, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 7 x 11-inch pan with parchment paper to keep things from sticking.

2-Next: melt the vegan butter and measure out 1/2 cup to use in your mix. In a large bowl, whisk the melted vegan butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar until they’re nicely combined. Add the flax eggs and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract, whisking everything together until smooth.

3-Now: sift 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder over the sugar mixture, then add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Stir gently until just combined don’t overmix to keep the brownies fudgy. Fold in half of the 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips, pour the batter into your prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle on the remaining chocolate chips.

4-Bake: for 35-40 minutes; the brownies might look soft but they’ll firm up as they cool. Let them cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and cool completely for another 15-30 minutes before cutting. This method ensures your vegan brownies turn out just right, perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying solo!
