They’re easy to prepare and can be customized by adding your favorite nuts or chocolate chips. With their rich flavor and chewy texture, these brownies will quickly become a go-to recipe for any chocolate lover looking for a vegan option.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. This will help prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform, then pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture using a spatula until just combined. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense brownies.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Extra Tips:
For an even more decadent treat, consider topping your brownies with a vegan chocolate ganache made from melted dark chocolate and coconut cream. You can also experiment with adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for added flavor and texture.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
Enjoy your delicious vegan treat!
