Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup natural cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp natural baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks (plant-based)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, natural baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, blend the plant-based butter and sugar using a mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat the eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, then stir in the natural vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter, mixing just until combined to avoid toughness.
- Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Gently stir in the plant-based dark chocolate chunks for melty pockets throughout the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted shows a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to help them set and retain a fudgy texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality natural cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor.
- Measure ingredients precisely for consistent results.
- Avoid overbaking to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
- Use room temperature ingredients to combine smoothly.
- Cut brownies only after they have completely cooled.
