Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed meal
- ½ cup soy milk (plus 2 tablespoons, or any variety)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup canola oil (plus 1 tablespoon, or vegetable oil)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Topping
- ¼ cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Flax Egg: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup ground flaxseed meal, ½ cup soy milk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Stir well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to thicken, creating a flax egg substitute for binding.
- Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder until thoroughly combined and uniform in color.
- Combine Batter: Add the thickened flax egg mixture and ¼ cup canola oil to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter will be very thick, resembling dough rather than a typical liquid batter — this is intentional for optimal fudginess. Avoid overmixing to prevent toughness.
- Transfer and Add Topping: Spoon the dense brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle ¼ cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips evenly across the surface for a melty chocolate topping.
- Bake Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Chill for Texture: For the best fudgy texture, refrigerate the brownies overnight or for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. This chilling step enhances chewiness and sliceability.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; it should remain thick and dough-like.
- Refrigerating the brownies before serving improves the fudgy texture significantly.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Can substitute soy milk with almond or oat milk if preferred.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
