Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 120g plant-based butter
  • 50g natural cocoa powder
  • 125g all-purpose flour
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 50g natural brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp natural vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 60ml plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with plant-based butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Melt the Butter and Combine Cocoa: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the plant-based butter, then whisk in the natural cocoa powder until smooth and luscious.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Whisk Sugars and Wet Ingredients: Beat the granulated sugar, natural brown sugar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce with the melted butter mixture. Stir in natural vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and plant-based milk until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix using a spatula, making sure not to overmix. The batter should be thick and fudgy.
  6. Bake Your Brownies: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; a few moist crumbs are perfect.

Notes

  • Use high-quality natural cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overbake; remove from the oven slightly early to maintain fudginess.
  • Use room temperature plant-based butter and milk for even mixing.
  • Customize with nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits by folding them gently into the batter.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to maintain their shape.
