These Gluten-Free Vegan Brownies and rich, decadent and fudgy on the inside with that paper-thin, crisp & shiny crust.

You’re sure to love these vegan brownies because these are:

  • Moist
  • Decadent
  • Crisp on the top but with a chewy center
  • Gluten-free
  • Easy to make!
  • Great to make in big batches as they store well in room temperature or in the fridge!

RECIPE RECOMMENDATIONS:

Use a square baking tray, if you have one! A good size for this batter recipe is 8×8″. This way you can get even square brownies. I used a 7×10″ tray that was rectangular so my brownies were more of a rectangular shape.

Though of course this doesn’t affect taste and texture so I didn’t mind!

BROWNIE INGREDIENTS

You’ll need the following:

FOR THE DRY MIXTURE, mix together:

  • Almond flour
  • Cocoa powder
  • Corn starch
  • Sea salt
  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder

WET MIXTURE

  • Brown sugar
  • Flax “eggs” (see recipe notes below)
  • Neutral oil
  • Water
  • Vanilla extract

Simply mix everything together!

How to make the vegan brownie batter/mix:

Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix everything until there are no signs of dry flour.

To Fold and Top

I folded in some chocolate chips to the batter

For topping, you can add the following:

  • Vegan chocolate chips
  • Chopped nuts (I added some cashews to top, before baking)
  • Flaky sea salt

BAKING THESE VEGAN BROWNIES

Make sure you’ve preheated your oven to 325F/160C.

Transfer the brownie batter to a lined baking tray.

Spread out evenly. Top the brownie mixture with more chocolate chips and nuts (if using) and sprinkle on some flaky sea salt.

Bake the brownies for 35 to 40 minutes until the top layer has hardened and is shiny. It will rise as it bakes due to the baking powder and baking soda.

AFTER BAKING:

Important: Leave the brownies to cool completely below slicing. It’s best to leave it to cool for a few hours. This will allow the brownie to set and harden a bit more. If you slice it too early, it can easily crumble!

THE FINISHED VEGAN BROWNIES WITH NUTS

I’ve made this version countless times and I personally prefer brownies with nuts since they add a really nice bite and crunch to the top!

For these brownies, I topped some roasted cashews that I roughly chopped up.

Without Nuts

Though of course you can opt to make these without nuts and just top the brownies with some more chocolate chips and flaky sea salt for that saltiness.

Either way, both versions of these brownies turn out delicious, super moist, and fudgy!

Equipment

  • 8×8" or 7×10” baking tray (it's actually best to use a square tray)
  • Parchment paper, for lining

Ingredients
 
 

Wet Sugar Mixture

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 flax "eggs" , see notes
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup room temperature water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Mixture

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

To Fold and Top

  • 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips plus more for topping (optional)
  • Roasted cashews or other nuts of choice (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325F/160C.https://thefoodietakesflight.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wprm_manage#
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the wet sugar mixture ingredients until well combined.
  • In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together all the dry mixture ingredients. Ensure that there are no clumps of almond flour and baking soda.
  • While mixing, add in the dry ingredients into the large bowl with the wet sugar ingredients. Mix until well-incorporated.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Spread out evenly. Top the brownie mixture with more chocolate chips and some roasted cashews or other nuts (optional) along with a sprinkle on some flaky sea salt.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top layer has hardened and is shiny. It will rise as it bakes due to the baking powder and baking soda.
  • IMPORTANT: Leave the brownies to cool completely below slicing. It’s best to leave it to cool for a few hours. This will allow the brownie to set and harden a bit more. If you slice it too early, it can easily crumble!

Storage Tips

  • To store the brownies, place these in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. These may last longer but I go through these so fast they rarely last a few days!

Notes

Flax “Egg”

To make 1 flax “egg”- mix 1 tbsp flax seed meal with 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Leave the mixture in the refrigerator to sit for 8-10 minutes or until thick.
Flax seed meal: For the flax seed meal, I simply ground whole flax seeds until these are fine. I used a food processor but you can also use a coffee grinder of even a high power blender.

Cocoa Powder

The type of cocoa powder used here is very important to yield delicious, very chocolate-y brownies with good flavour. I use 100% unsweetened cocoa powder that’s a rich dark brown colour to get the best results for this recipe.

    I made these for Easter yesterday for some non-vegan/GF family and they were a massive hit! seriously so delicious and everyone loved them. I used a scale to weigh the ingredients which really helped.

      Hi Phaedra, hope you guys had a great easter weekend! And really happy to hear you guys enjoyed this ◡̈ thanks so much for trying it out as welL!

        I made this for the first time in an 8×8 pan, turned out really delicious, but I was wondering if I can make more servings with a 13×9 oblong pan? Would I need to double to recipe?

        1. Jeeca June 11, 2021 Reply

          Hi Karen! The 13×9 pan might yield thinner brownies but I think it would be okay if that’s no problem for you. It’s oval so I’m assuming its a bit smaller in surface area than a square/rectangular one.

    Can I use almond meal instead of flour?

    1. Jeeca December 1, 2023 Reply

      Hi Gupta, almond flour is finer that almond meal since this uses peeled almonds. I believe they can be used interchangeably but I haven’t tried it for this recipe. If you do try it out, please let me know how it goes. Thank you! ◡̈
