Fudgy Vegan Gluten-Free Brownies
These gluten-free vegan brownies are rich, fudgy, and intensely chocolatey, with a soft, fudgy center and deep chocolate flavor. Made in just one bowl, they come together quickly with simple ingredients. They also freeze beautifully, so you can always have a batch ready for a quick homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, vegan
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 ounces vegan dark chocolate (200g), melted
- 1 cup plant-based milk, like almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease or line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add oil, vanilla extract, melted chocolate, and plant-based milk. Mix until well incorporated. If desired, you can add chopped toasted nuts or chocolate chips.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still looks slightly soft. For fudgy brownies, avoid overbaking. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool before removing and slicing; cutting them warm could make them unbaked.
Notes
Storing: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days to a week. You can freeze them in an air-tight container or freezer bag.
