Vegan Cocoa Powder Brownies (No Chocolate)
Fudgy vegan brownies without chocolate, made with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 160 g Plain/all-purpose flour (1 cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 80 g Unsweetened cocoa powder (⅔ cup)
- 250 g Caster sugar (1+¼ cups)
- 1 Teaspoon Baking powder
- 120 g Vegan margarine, melted (½ cup)
- 160 ml Unsweetened soy milk (½ cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 g Dairy-free chocolate chips (around ⅔ cup) optional
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F (or 160°C/325°F if you're using a fan or convection oven). Line an 8x10-inch tin with baking paper.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and baking powder.
-
Add the melted margarine, the soy milk and the vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth. The batter will be very thick.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
-
Transfer the thick batter to your tin and spread it out evenly. Top with the leftover chocolate chips.
-
Bake for 22 minutes. They will seem under-baked in the middle but they'll firm up once cold.
-
Let them cool in the tin for around 30 minutes, then put them in the fridge for 2 hours to set firm.
-
Once chilled, remove them from the tin and cut into squares.
