Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt, ensuring they are well incorporated.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredient mixture.
- Combine Batter: Stir the mixture until well combined and smooth, with no lumps remaining in the batter.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set properly.
- Serve: Cut the cooled brownies into squares and enjoy your delicious vegan treat!
Notes
- Using unsweetened applesauce keeps the brownies moist while replacing eggs.
- Ensure not to overbake to maintain fudginess; check with a toothpick at 25 minutes.
- You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar if preferred.
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or more dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
