The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

    About 5 min

  2. 2

    Lightly grease and flour an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan, or line with parchment paper for easy removal.

    About 2 min

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, salt, and baking powder.

    About 3 min

    Cook’s note: Ensure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.

  5. 5

    Mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix.

    About 2 min

    Cook’s note: Overmixing can lead to tough brownies.

  6. 6

    Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Save a few for sprinkling on top if desired.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

    About 1 min

  8. 8

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.

    About 25 min

    Cook’s note: Brownies are best when slightly underbaked for a fudgier texture.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.

    About 30 min

    Cook’s note: Cooling completely is crucial for fudgy, clean-cut brownies.
