Ingredients for fudgy vegan brownies laid out before baking

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon Himalayan salt
1 ½ cups sugar (or a mix of brown sugar and white sugar for extra chewiness)
½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
½ cup plant-based milk (such as oat milk or unsweetened almond milk)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup vegan chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)

Equipment

9x13 inch baking pan
Large mixing bowl
Whisk
Spatula
Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour your 9x13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, melted and cooled coconut oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. If using, fold in the vegan chocolate chips now.
Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Overbaking will result in dry brownies!
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This is crucial for that irresistible fudgy texture.

Variations and Adaptations

Gluten-Free Brownies: Easily make this recipe gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
Nutty Twist: Add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for a delightful crunch.
Mint Chocolate Bliss: Incorporate ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract along with the vanilla for a refreshing mint chocolate flavor.
Espresso Boost: Add 1-2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder to the cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor that isn't overtly coffee-like.
Bourbon Brownies (Adults Only!): For a sophisticated twist, reduce the plant-based milk by 2 tablespoons and add 2 tablespoons of your favorite bourbon. Just like that fun comment suggested, "Lol if only!!!😅" — now you can make it happen!

Tips for Perfect Fudgy Brownies

Don't Overmix: Overmixing develops gluten in the flour, leading to tougher, more cake-like brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and will disappear during baking.
Don't Overbake: This is the golden rule for achieving ultimate fudginess. Keep a close eye on your brownies; the center should look just set, with a slight wobble, and a toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
Cool Completely: Patience is a virtue, especially with brownies! Cutting warm brownies often results in crumbly, messy squares and a less dense texture. For the cleanest cuts and that signature fudgy consistency, let them cool entirely in the pan, or for an even denser result, chill them in the fridge before slicing.
Storage: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain their freshness and fudginess. For longer storage, they also freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
