Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • Pinch of salt

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, blend the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the plant-based butter with sugar until fluffy. Then add the apple cider vinegar, natural vanilla extract, and plant-based milk, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Create the Batter: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to form a smooth, fudgy batter without overmixing.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  6. Prepare the Frosting: Beat the plant-based cream cheese with powdered sugar (natural) and a splash of natural vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  7. Frost and Enjoy: Allow the brownies to cool completely before spreading the delicious frosting evenly over the top. Cut into squares and get ready to savor every bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help everything blend smoothly for a uniform texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough brownies; aim for soft, fudgy texture.
  • Let brownies cool fully before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off.
  • Check baking time around 25 minutes to avoid drying out the brownies.
  • Store brownies covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator to retain moistness.
