Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 cup natural sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based dairy (cheese alternative)

Toppings

  • 1 cup colorful candy-coated chocolate pieces (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a square baking pan with plant-based butter and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, natural sugar, natural gelling agent, and a pinch of salt to form a well-mixed dry base ensuring even chocolate flavor distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, gently melt the plant-based butter, then stir in apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and plant-based dairy (cheese alternative) to add moisture and richness for a fudge-like consistency.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender and soft. The batter should look thick and glossy, indicating perfect texture.
  5. Add Colorful Candy-Coated Pieces: Fold half of the colorful candy-coated chocolate pieces (plant-based) gently into the batter while reserving the rest for sprinkling on top.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, scatter the remaining candy-coated pieces on top, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to let the fudgy texture set.

Notes

  • Use high-quality natural cocoa powder to enhance chocolate flavor.
  • Bake until a few moist crumbs stick to a toothpick to keep brownies chewy and dense.
  • Ensure wet ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Customize candy toppings by choosing your favorite plant-based candy-coated pieces or mini chocolate chips.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts and maintained fudginess.
