Vegan Brownies

Small batch vegan brownies made with just almond butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. Crazy, right? Crazy good!

Ok, maybe I’ve always loved brownies.

But what about vegan brownies? I’ve never loved those. That is, until I made these with almond butter, maple syrup and cocoa powder. It sounds ridiculous. It sounds like it wouldn’t work. But it does.

They’re made in a standard bread loaf pan (how I always make small-batch brownies), and you can get 2 large or 4 small brownies from this recipe. It’s portion control, vegan, naturally sweetened, and easily made gluten-free. Is there anything else you could want in a brownie recipe?

This recipe originally appeared on Dessert For Two.

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour or GF brown rice flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325, and line a 9x5" bread loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving extra on the ends so that you can easily lift out your brownies when they're done.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa powder, almond butter, maple syrup and coconut oil. Stir well, and then microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.
  3. Remove from the microwave and stir to blend well.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda and salt, and stir for about 50 strokes to blend very well. (If you're using gluten free flour, you don't have to stir this much. Just stir until well-mixed).
  5. Pour the mixture into the pan, and top with the chopped chocolate bar.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool completely, and then chill in the fridge for best results. They cut the most evenly if they're well-chilled. You could dig in right away, though they will be slightly messy.

    Great recipe, I just thought we should not use microwaves.

    The vegan brownie recipe is an example of how being vegan does not equal healthy.
