CLOSEUltimate Vegan Chocolate Brownies
Last Updated on 3rd January 2020 by Mimi
Vegan baking doesn’t need to be defined by what you leave out. Using vegetable oil as a non-dairy alternative is a great way to add moisture to brownies. It makes the brownie slightly denser and gooey which is, of course, precisely the point!
This is the kind of recipe that’s so easy you can throw it together while holding a conversation and entertaining guests. It’s as simple as pouring a jug of all the wet ingredients into a bowl of all the dry and mixing together. We’ve topped the brownies with chopped pistachios and pecan nuts but you could make them extra indulgent and seasonal by adding 50g of dark chocolate chunks and the zest from half an orange.
