Who says being vegan means only eating salad? There are so many exciting vegan foods out there these days that there aren’t many foods that vegans have to go without anymore. These indulgent chocolate brownies are the perfect example of this, and they are straightforward to make so anyone can enjoy them regardless of baking proficiency.
Ingredients:
(Makes 12 brownies)
- 1.5 cups plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup caster sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 340℉.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and cocoa powder.
- Heat the coconut oil slightly until it becomes liquid. You can either microwave it or heat it gently on the hob.
- Leave to cool for a few minutes, and then add to the dry mixture and mix well throughout.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir into the mixture.
- Take a square oven tray and line it with greaseproof paper.
- Transfer the brownie mixture to the tray and smooth it out into an even layer.
- Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Check it’s cooked throughout by putting a clean knife in the middle: you want the center to be fudgy but not liquid.
- Leave to cool for about 10 minutes before tucking in and enjoying.
