These vegan brownies are easy to make, and so good for you! With ingredients like flax seeds, coconut oil, cashew yogurt and almond milk, you can feel good about feeding these to your family (and yourself!)

I love that they are soft and fudge in the center and slightly crunchy on top and on the end pieces.

Plus, I have supplied you with a toppings and add-in section. So you can make peanut butter brownies, candy cane brownies, raspberry and more flavors easily.

How to Make Vegan Brownies

I like to make these brownies in a large sauce pot… It makes clean up a breeze and you won’t need extra bowls. So get out your big sauce pot and enjoy the ease of (almost) one pot brownies.

And if you want to add in some nuts or other goodies to the batter, or top your brownies with some decadent bites. The next section has you covered with add-ins and toppings.

How to Make Brownies:

1. To make the “flax eggs” stir the ground flax and water in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and using the inside of the butter wrapper rub coconut oil on the inside of a 9×13 casserole dish.
3. In a large sauce pot add the coconut oil, brown sugar, and chocolate and heat on low until melted. Mixing often.
4. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the cashew yogurt, almond milk, and the “flax eggs”.
5. To the pot, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix together until just combinded, it will be thick…
6. Add the brownie mix to the preparied cassarole dish, and smooth to an even layer.
7. Place in the oven for 30-40 minutes, you know they are done when the sides pull away from pan and the center resists pressure.
8. Let cool for 1 hour before cutting into 16 squares.
