- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Add-ins
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture.
- Mix Batter: Stir the ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring even texture throughout.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently incorporate the dairy-free chocolate chips into the batter for extra chocolate goodness.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared 8×8-inch pan to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for easy slicing.
- Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious vegan brownies!
Notes
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
- Make sure the coconut oil is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the batter prematurely.
- For a nutty flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Adding a pinch of espresso powder can enhance the chocolate flavor without adding coffee taste.
