- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt to create a uniform dry mixture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients for moisture and flavor.
- Combine the Batter: Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps to ensure even baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly for consistent thickness.
- Bake: Bake the batter in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan to set the texture.
- Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve, enjoying your rich vegan dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar if unavailable.
- Ensure the applesauce is unsweetened to maintain the right sweetness balance.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe vegan.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
