Vegan Brownies


These brownies are fudgy, chocolaty, moist and super indulgent! Just the way a brown should be!


Vegan Brownie Recipe

I always try to reduce added sugars where possible when baking. Today I did no such thing. Today I went all out and even added a lot of chocolate.


These brownies are definitely hitting all the right chocolate spots. If I could, I would have these brownies every weekend...



REASONS YOU WILL LOVE THESE BROWNIES

  • they are fudgy and moist

  • the bitterness from the dark chocolate combines so well with the sweetness from the brownie batter.

  • the hazelnuts add a lovely crunch

  • these are so easy to make

  • and soooo delicious!

  • you can freeze left-overs, simply let them thaw at room temperature again.



Fudgy vegan brownie


TEAM FUDGY OR TEAM CAKEY

In my personal opinion a good brownie should be moist, fudgy, maybe a thin crinkle layer on top, but definitely with lots of chocolate puddles and a some nuts.


  • If you prefer your brownies a bit fudgier, reduce the baking time.

  • If you prefer your brownies a bit more cakey, bake them for a couple minutes longer.



CHOCOLATE

I find the darker the chocolate, the better! Anything from 70% cacao and more is great.

For a vegan friendly brownie, make sure the chocolate is vegan.



NUTS

Hazelnuts are probably my favourite nut to use when it comes to brownies, but almonds, macadamia nuts and Brazil nuts are great too. If you don't like or have nuts, you can just leave that out.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS

You can add a few dried sour cherries to add some tartness.

You can substitute the dark chocolate with vegan milk chocolate, but it will make the brownies even sweeter.
