Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plant-based)
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
  • 1/3 cup colorful candy pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Pan: Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper with plant-based butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to ensure even distribution. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, blend plant-based butter with granulated and natural brown sugar until light and fluffy. This creates the perfect base for tender brownies.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing gently to keep the batter light while fully integrating all components.
  6. Incorporate Chocolate Chips and Natural Gelling Agent: Stir in dark chocolate chips (plant-based) and natural gelling agent to enhance texture and add pockets of melted chocolate throughout.
  7. Pour and Top with Candies: Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and smooth out the surface. Sprinkle colorful candy pieces evenly over the top to create the signature Cosmic Brownies look.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring fudginess without being underbaked.
  9. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out and slice into squares. Enjoy the colorful, rich delight!

Notes

  • Use butter and plant-based milk at room temperature for better mixing and even texture.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid tough brownies and maintain crumb softness.
  • Choose good quality cocoa powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
  • Check brownies at 25 minutes to avoid drying them out; fudgy is better than crumbly.
  • Cool completely or chill in the fridge to firm the brownies and make cutting neater.
