Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup high-quality cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the rising agent for perfect texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix brown sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add plant-based milk and natural vanilla extract, stirring to blend all the flavors smoothly.
  4. Create the Batter: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until fully combined without overmixing. The batter should be thick but pourable, ready to fill your pan.
  5. Bake Until Just Set: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center to check; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  6. Prepare the Frosting: While brownies cool, whip together plant-based butter, powdered sugar, a splash of plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural gelling agent using a hand mixer until creamy and stable.
  7. Frost and Chill: Once brownies have cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly on top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use good quality cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender.
  • Cool brownies completely before frosting to avoid melting.
  • Chill frosted brownies before cutting for clean slices.
  • Adjust powdered sugar in frosting to customize sweetness.
