Vegan Fudge Brownies

Welcome back to my kitchen!

I'm on a bit of a vegan baking kick and wanted to share these ultra fudgy brownies made with 10 ingredients, most of which you likely have floating around in your cupboards. Although I myself am not vegan, I really enjoy creating delicious treat for my loved ones who are, and that now includes you. I hope you enjoy these brownies as much as we do.

So let's get started!

Makes: 1 9x13'' slab -Prep time: 24 hours -Cook time: 50 minutes - Serves: 24

Equipment

9x13'' baking tin

Medium saucepan

Whisk

Spatula

Kitchen scales

Ingredients

Ganache

65g cocoa powder

55g granulated sugar* (see notes)

20g corn starch

180g dairy free milk, (I use soy or oat)

35g vegan butter, softened

Brownie

150g granulated sugar

90g hot water

90g vegan butter, softened

110g plain flour

4g salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

60g chopped nuts, optional

Method

Preheat your oven to 170°C fan forced (340°F). Line a 9x13 inch baking tin with baking paper and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine 65g cocoa, 55g sugar, and 20g corn starch. Whisk to ensure there are no lumps, then add a small amount of the 180g milk to form a paste. Gradually add the remaining milk, whisking continuously. Place the pan over medium-low heat and continue to whisk for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Like a drinking chocolate, Remove from heat and whisk in 35g butter until fully incorporated.

To the ganache, add 150g sugar, 90g butter, and 90g hot water, whisking together until well combined. Add 4g salt, 110g flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 60g nuts. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with some smearing, but not raw batter. I start to check at 18 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely in the tin. Once cooled, slice into your desired number of pieces and enjoy!

Notes

Sugar: Make sure that your sugar is vegan, as some are processed with bone char to brighten and whiten the sugar.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and if you give it a try, let me know how it turns out! Your feedback means the world to me. Happy baking!

Much love,
