These Best Vegan double chocolate brownies are moist and fudgy. Unsweetened cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips make them very chocolaty & decadent.
For the final day of this week’s Blogging Marathon, I made a moist and fudgy vegan brownies. Vegan is the theme of the week and I wanted to finish the week on a sweet note. Recipe is from Vegan Food52 cookbook and has been on my to-try list for quite some time now.
Vegan Double Chocolate Brownies:
I’ve made vegan brownies with tofu years ago. But they were not received very well by the family. To put it mildly, I was told to never make them AGAIN.
Since then I’ve stopped baking ‘healthy’. I bake regular recipes not too often and always make sure that we exercise portion control.
Ingredients for Vegan Brownies:
These vegan double chocolate brownies are not considered healthy by any means. But they are made with 100% vegan ingredients:
- Almond milk – feel free to use any other non-dairy milk
- Organic Cane sugar – refined sugar is filtered and bleached with bone-char. Hence it is neither vegetarian nor vegan. Look for brands that specifically say, vegan friendly or buy beet sugar.
- Vegan chocolate chips.
Perfect texture:
I like my brownies more cakier than fudgy. These turned exactly how I like them – very moist, cakey and delicious. Serve them as is with a glass of milk or with some vegan ice cream on top.

I seriously always have a problem deciding if I like my brownies fudgy or caky. Guess I just LOVE brownie however you give and these are looking so sinful!

The brownies look richly moist and very inviting. Agree that as long as we are portion controlling, indulging in such treats now and then doesn’t sound guilty pleasure.
