I have been working on this recipe for some time now, which included many failed attempts along the way. I’m finally happy to bring you my version of vegan brownies!

These brownies are so rich and indulgent, incredibly soft and fudgy, and have that desired shiny crinkly top. I’ve made them completely vegan without the need for egg replacers or aquafaba.

Simple, basic ingredients are all you’ll need to make these fudgy brownies!

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
