Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plant-based butter (melted)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour (use almond flour for a gluten-free vegan brownie recipe)

• Optional: nuts, plant-based chocolate drizzle

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted plant-based butter and coconut oil with the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. This creates the base for a rich, dairy-free fudge brownie.
3. In another bowl, mix the almond flour (for the gluten-free option), cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is well combined. Fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips to enhance the plant-based chocolate treat.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
6. Let the brownies cool before slicing into squares. These easy vegan brownies can be enjoyed as is or with an extra chocolate drizzle or nuts for added crunch.
