I love an easy and deliciously rich brownie recipe for a weekend treat or to bring round my friends - and these are no exception!
This is my favourite go-to recipe whenever I have a sweet tooth - and the best thing is they are vegan!
There is a downloadable recipe card with all the information at the end!
Warning: these won't last long amongst friends and family.
Ingredients
250g Plain Flour
250g Caster Sugar
70g Cocoa powder
1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla extract
200ml of Olive Oil (or vegetable)
250ml of Almond milk
*ingredients may be dependent on personal preference, see notes at bottom if you wish to adjust quantities accordingly.
Method:
Step 1: Pre-heat your oven to 160c fan - 180c - 350f and grease a 8"x 8" (20x20cm) tin.
Step 2: Sieve then mix together the dry ingredients (Plain flour, caster sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt).
Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients together (almond milk, oil, vanilla extract) in a jug then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Step 3: Whisk the mixture for 2-3 minutes until gleaming.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into a baking tray and bake for 25-35 minutes (depending how gooey you like your brownies - with no eggs in the mixture it makes it easier to undercook a bit) or until a cocktail stick comes out clean.
Step 5: Leave to cool, then cut up into slices as big as you desire!
Step 6: Enjoy!
Notes:
These brownies are quite dark and rich, if you have a sweeter tooth, try upping the sugar to 300g or even 350g
I like to add white chocolate chips to add more flavour and sweetness
If you like them gooier or oiler, you can up the oil to 250ml. Extra virgin olive oil gives a nice richness to these brownies.
You can up the cocoa to 80g if you like them extra dark
If you like them gooey like me, I'd suggest 25 minutes - if you prefer them more cooked then give them 35-40 minutes
These brownies are on the softer side so don't tend to get crispy
Keep in an airtight container for maximum quality - they tend to last about 4-5 days
If you love chocolate, try drizzling it over the top once they have cooled
You can replace with other types of milk or make them not vegan if you want!
