These brownies are so fluffy, light and not too sweet at all. The frosting really makes them. No one would ever guess they’re vegan – score!
Fudgy Vegan Fudge Brownies
2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
1 tbsp baking powder
1/3 cup brown sugar (if I make these again, I would use a lot more sugar – probably 3/4 cup)
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup canola oil
1 3/4 cup almond milk
Preheat oven to 180°C/355°F. Grease and/or line an 8×8 baking dish. In a large bowl mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add in oil and milk and stir until combined. Pour brownie batter into baking dish and bake for 25-35 minutes or until cooked through and a skewer inserted removes clean.
Eat within 1-2 days – best stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
Vegan Chocolate Frosting
3 tbsp non-dairy spread
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/3 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp milk
In a bowl combine spread and cocoa powder, gradually mix in icing sugar, vanilla and add milk as needed to create your desired consistency.
