Vegan Brownies

These vegan brownies are rich, chewy, and feature a wonderfully crisp crust. 

Vegan Brownie Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this homemade vegan brownie recipe: 

• Flour: This vegan brownie starts with all-purpose flour. 
• Sugar: Make sure the package is labeled “vegan,” as some store-bought white sugars aren’t strictly vegan. 
• Cocoa powder: You’ll need ¾ cups of good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder. 
• Baking powder: Baking powder acts as a leavener, which means it helps the vegan brownies rise. 
• Salt: Salt enhances the overall flavor of the brownies, but it won’t make them taste salty. 
• Water or coffee: Use a cup of hot water (or a cup of brewed coffee for more flavor). 
• Oil: Vegetable oil keeps these vegan brownies nice and moist. 
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract takes the flavor up a notch.
