Ingredients for Vegan Brownies
Serves: 9 brownies
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- ¾ cup sugar (white or brown)
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- ¾ cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional add-ins:
- Vegan chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
- Dark chocolate chunks (dairy-free)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Oven: Preheat it to 170°C (340°F). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
No-oven: Place a stand or inverted steel bowl inside a heavy-bottom pan. Cover with a lid and preheat on very low flame for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix everything well so the cocoa powder is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. Mix gently using a spatula until a smooth, thick batter forms. Do not overmix, as this keeps the brownies soft and fudgy.
Step 4: Add Extras (Optional)
Fold in vegan chocolate chips or nuts if using. This step adds texture and extra chocolate flavor.
Step 5: Bake or Cook
Oven Method:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center—it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
No Oven Method:
Place the brownie pan on the preheated stand inside the heavy-bottom pan. Cover and cook on very low flame for 35–40 minutes. Check with a toothpick. Keep the flame low throughout.
Step 6: Cool and Slice
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. Cooling helps them set properly and enhances the fudgy texture.
Tips for Perfect Vegan Brownies
- Do not overbake; vegan brownies firm up as they cool
- Use good-quality cocoa powder for deep chocolate flavor
- Keep the flame very low for the no oven method
- Let brownies rest before slicing for clean cuts
Serving Suggestions
Vegan brownies taste amazing when:
- Served warm with vegan vanilla ice cream

You can also cut them into small squares and pack them as lunchbox treats or gifts.
