Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift the brownies out later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and 1/4 cup of coconut sugar. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
- Add 1 tsp of baking soda and 1/4 tsp of salt to the mixture. Stir until the baking soda and salt are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fold in 1/4 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan, smoothing out the top.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After cooling, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting them into 16 squares.
- Serve your Vegan Easter Chocolate Brownies as a delicious treat, and enjoy the rich chocolate flavor! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough brownies.
- For extra richness, try adding a handful of chopped nuts or additional dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Make sure to use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- For a festive Easter touch, consider decorating with vegan chocolate eggs or sprinkles.
- If you prefer a gooier texture, reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes.
