Lauren Casolaro
These vegan brownies are the perfect dessert! They're fudgy, chewy, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. Vegan or not, I promise you everyone will love these.

Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (120 g) aquafaba chickpea brine
  • 1 ½ cups (351 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (171 g) dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (115 g) vegan butter
  • 1 tablespoon (13 g) vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (216 g) all purpose flour
  • 7 tablespoons (42 g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder or dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons (5 g) high quality matcha powder
  • ½ teaspoon (5 g) salt

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Start by adding the aquafaba and sugar to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat together for 2-3 minutes until glossy and thick. You should see ribbons/folds forming as you move the mixer through the bowl.
    ½ cup aquafaba, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • In a separate bowl, add the vegan butter and dark chocolate. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted (it should only take a minute and a half at most). Pour the melted butter and chocolate into the aquafaba along with vanilla extract. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold until combined.
    ¾ cup dark chocolate, ½ cup vegan butter, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Sift the cocoa powder, matcha powder, salt, and all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. If you'd like to add chocolate chips or nuts, do so now!
    2 teaspoons high quality matcha powder, 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 7 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out semi-clean.
  • Remove from the oven and leave the brownies in the baking dish to cool completely. Once cool, slice and enjoy!
