These are hands down the best vegan brownies. I have tried SOOOO many different vegan brownie recipes. And so many of them turned out to be a weird oil separated nastiness. So, I decided to try and make my own, and I am glad I did.
I have made probably 20 different batches of brownies to land on this recipe.
We are talking a lot of chocolate chips folks. But I have finally nailed it and I am ready to share them!
There seem to be two big camps in the brownie world; fudgy or cakey. I’m gonna be real here- I am TOTALLY in the fudgy camp. So naturally these air on the side of fudgy, but I do not think the cakey fans will be disappointed.
These have 3 different forms of chocolate in them. You melt some, you leave some in chip form, and some coco powder for good measure.
I add 1/2 a teaspoon of instant coffee to these. It does not make it taste like coffee at all, but it really enhances the chocolate flavor. I buy mine from Trader Joe’s or Amazon, it’s super cheap and I keep it for any other baking needs I might have. I have used the the instant coffee in the packets and they work just the same.
These vegan brownies taste delicious with a bowl of ice cream. I have mentioned before my favorite vegan vanilla ice cream is So Delicious Very Vanilla, Cashew milk ice cream. This stuff tastes like waffle cones. Here’s a link to check it out (I am not sponsored by them, I just love this flavor and you should know about it)
