Oh wow, these vegan brownies you guys! Fudgy and rich and everything a brownie should be.
Topped with vegan whipped cream and drizzled with melted chocolate because dessert.
The tops get all nice and shiny and cracked, which is just perfect for brownies don’t you think?
The best way to eat brownies is with some vegan whipped cream or some delicious vegan ice cream. If you serve them nice and warm from the oven with cream or ice cream, well that’s even better!
Lots of cocoa!
There is a lot of cocoa in this recipe, which gives it the extremely rich chocolate flavor. But to counter-balance the cocoa, you need more sugar, so don’t be shocked out of your little cotton socks by the fact of 2 cups of sugar. 
Every granule is put to good use to create the most delicious vegan brownies ever.
For a little extra kick and to enhance the flavors I added a little instant coffee powder to the recipe as well. And I think it worked great. You don’t really taste the coffee but there is the sense of a little something something going on to create an extra layer of flavor.
With brownies you’re not going for light and fluffy but rather dense and fudgy and that is what you have here in abundance. Extra moist, fudgy and decadent brownies that are super rich and chocolatey.

These super moist, fudgy and beautifully textured vegan brownies are rich, decadent and delightful! Serve with vegan cream or ice cream for a fabulous dessert experience.
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 2 cups (250g) All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup (86g) Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
- 2 cups (400g) Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup (240ml) Vegan Buttermilk
- 1 Tbsp Instant Coffee Powder
- 1 cup (240ml) Vegetable Oil (I used olive)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
For Serving:
- Vegan Whipped Cream or
- Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream
- Melted Vegan Chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a square baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Prepare the vegan buttermilk by adding 1 Tbsp lemon juice into a measuring jug and then adding soy milk up to the 1 cup (240ml) line. Allow to sit for a minute to curdle.
- Add the buttermilk, coffee powder, vegetable oil and vanilla and mix well.
- Pour the batter out into a square baking dish and smooth down.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clear (moist crumbs are fine, wet batter is not!). Mine took exactly 38 minutes but ovens will differ.

Hello
Has anyone tried freezing these?
Hi Heather, you can freeze them! There are some good tips here for how to freeze brownies.
Not gonna lie I was a little skeptical about trying such an easy recipe but OH MY GOD. These are the absolute BEST brownies I have ever had!!! It is so wonderful that all these ingredients are always on hand and it only took about 5 minutes to prepare before putting it in the oven!! So delicious thank you soo much for this recipe definitely a keeper.

That’s wonderful to hear! Thanks so much for the awesome review. 🙂
Great recipe! I used 1 cup of flour and didn’t include the baking powder and they turned out AMAZING! I cooked them for 35 minutes and they were cooked all the way through but still gooey inside. Definitely recommend this alteration!
★★★★
I just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts. You are amazing.
Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you! Much appreciated. 🙂
The BEST brownie recipe ever, so easy and they turned out perfect and delicious. I have tried so many vegan chocolate brownie/cake recipes and they’ve all been pretty bad. These brownies are so good even my omni partner is asking for more. Thank you for giving me back chocolate desserts!!
★★★★★
YAY! So happy to read your comment Sara, thanks so much! 🙂
Hi 🙂 are these better to eat warm soon after they have come out the oven, or cool the day after baking? Thanks!
Either or is delicious but I personally like them served warm with vegan cream or ice cream. You can reheat the individual brownies in the microwave once they’ve cooled down so the next day works great too.
So I’ve made so many recipes thinking they seemed too easy. But…. I loved the vanilla, lemon, cakes and cupcakes. Those will forever be my go to for cupcakes and cake recipes. However. The brownie recipe was super crumbly. I weighed ingredients and they were still tasty. Just crumbly which made me sad. 😭

Hi Kim, that is such a pity. Did you make any ingredient substitutions like using a different flour? I don’t know what might have caused that otherwise, we recently made these again for the recipe video and they were definitely not crumbly at all so I’m not sure what might have gone wrong.
