They’re vegan-friendly They are perfect to cure your sweet tooth Make them in under an hour Healthier substitutions than regular brownies
Ingredients:
These are the ingredients we are using in today’s recipe: Ground Flax: This plays the role of egg in this recipe and does so beautifully. The key is to let the ground flax and water completely coagulate and marry so it’s like sludge… attractive, I know but it works! If you are looking for another egg replacement I suggest 1 banana, 1/4 cup apple sauce, aqua faba or an egg formulated replacement. Vegan Butter: Any butter will work but I suggest your favorite vegan butter first! Sugar: Have fun with the sweeteners in this recipe. It’s quite versatile so use what you have on hand. I suggest Monkfruit, Brown Sugar, Dates, or even Honey… but of course, if all you have access to is white sugar then that works perfectly fine too! Flour: In this recipe, we use all-purpose flour so that luscious feel but if you want to go GF then use a 1:1 flour that has xanthan gum, and if it doesn’t be sure to add 1 tsp to flour. Cocoa: This ingredient is a must. I don’t recommend using cacao as that would be too potent. For added flavor add 2 tbsp. of espresso to really bring things to life. Plant Milk: Any milk will do here so if plant milk isn’t for you, don’t worry! I suggest oat or almond milk first. Chocolate Chips: Completely optional but really that little game-changer in this recipe! If you’re looking to reduce your sugar intake I recommend looking into reduced sugar/sugar-free chocolate chips. Walnuts: The star of the show and truly what we all came for. Walnuts in this recipe add that certain je ne sais quoi and really leave you wanting more from each moist, airy, crunchy bite! For this recipe, I used California Walnuts. These walnuts are so dang good and perfect to add to baking like this brownie recipe, to toss in salads, or even use as a meat substitute in recipes like my vegan spaghetti meat sauce.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to make these vegan brownies: Enjoy!
What are the health benefits of walnuts? Walnuts provide healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and they are so much more than just a topping for these vegan fudge brownies. Some of the other added benefits walnuts have are:
They’re rich in antioxidants They are a super plant source of Omega-3s Can decrease inflammation Promote a healthy gut May reduce the risk of some cancers Can help with blood pressure
What can I substitute for brown sugar? This is completely optional. If you do not have brown sugar, replace it with Monkfruit Sweetener, date puree, or white sugar. Can I use regular butter? Use whatever butter you have on hand if you do not have access to vegan butter. How do I store these brownies so they stay fresh? The brownies will last up 10 3-4 days on the counter, covered or up to 1 week in the fridge in a tightly sealed container. TIP! Parchment Paper + Baking Oil: I highly recommend baking with parchment paper or baking oil to make for easy removable and less mess. It’s a saving grace in my pantry!
