Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 3/4 cup plant-based candy chips (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with vegetable oil to ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and natural gelling agent to evenly distribute all components for a uniform texture throughout the brownies.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk vegetable oil, brown sugar, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and natural vanilla extract until smooth and shiny, creating a moist, flavorful base for the batter.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until no streaks remain. Avoid overmixing to preserve a tender, melt-in-your-mouth crumb.
  5. Add Plant-Based Candy Chips: Gently fold in most of the plant-based candy chips, reserving a handful to scatter on top before baking to achieve the vibrant cosmic appearance.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved candy chips over the surface. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until edges pull away slightly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing.
  • Do not overbake to maintain fudgy consistency.
  • Use an offset spatula for an even smooth top highlighting the candy chips.
  • Customize with your favorite colorful plant-based candy chips to suit the season or mood.
  • Allow sufficient cooling to let the natural gelling agent set the texture perfectly.
