Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour for a GF option
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar for a healthier option
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
  • ½ cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegan dark chocolate chips optional, for extra richness

Optional Toppings:

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Crushed nuts e.g., walnuts or pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, if using.
  • Bake the Brownies: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a cutting board. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves or crushed nuts, if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Freezing: These brownies freeze beautifully! Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • Variations: Feel free to customize your brownies with mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
