Looking for the best vegan brownie recipe?
Well your search stops here!
I have several recipes here on my website for vegan brownies
But today I have settled on the one perfect recipe that fits every application!
It’s fudgy and chewy and it is ready in just under an hour!
I use it when I want to add brownie layers to my cakes
It’s great for individual treats like my Snicker’s Brownie recipe!
And of course it is the best for regular ol’ brownies for snacking!
WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE!
Notes for Success:
I understand the measure for the baking powder and salt is interesting since who has a 2/3 spoon measure?
Measure out one teaspoon and then carefully scoop out about 1/3 of it leaving behind 2/3 for the recipe
Using a scale for the flour and other ingredients is the best for consistent perfect brownies!
Some people are opposed to using coffee in their recipes but coffee and chocolate are best friends!
Coffee brings out the best characteristics of chocolate so I hope you will try it!
You will not taste the coffee I promise! However if you prefer, you can use water instead.
For those who want to lighten up the sugar in this recipe I have used monk fruit sugar in place of the granulated sugar with great results
