Life’s too short to spend it eating depressing, boring brownies. You, therefore, require the best vegan brownies in your life. Brownies with an enticing crinkle top are the ideal balance of fudgy and chewy.
It will be difficult for you to accept that these brownies are vegan. They lack the bland flavor and crumbly, dry texture that characterize most vegan brownies.
Why Is This Recipe Effective?
-
A Dream Come True for Chocolate Lovers
These vegan brownies have three layers of chocolate: vegan chocolate chips, genuine dark chocolate, and Dutch-processed cocoa powder. The combination of all three produces an unbelievably rich chocolate flavor.
An honorable mention for Dutch process cocoa powder. It has lost its naturally acidic flavor since it has become alkalized. It has a rich, pure, and intensely chocolatey flavor.
-
A Glamorous and Alluring Crinkle Top
You can’t resist once you catch sight of the crinkle-top brownies. It has a delightfully delicate, ridged, flaky, and feathery texture. The contrast is too good to put into words, especially when combined with a fudgy interior.
Usually, eggs are the key to brownies’ flaky, crinkle-topped texture. However, we found that beating sugar and aquafaba together produces the same effects.
Ingredients List for Vegan Brownie
-
Aquafaba
The fluid that comes out of a can of beans. It took me a few tries to figure out that you could produce vegan brownies with a glossy, crunchy top by beating sugar and aquafaba for a few minutes before combining them with your wet ingredients.
-
Cane Sugar
We use a good amount of sugar because cane sugar provides the brownies’ structure. Opt for a darker chocolate with a higher cocoa content to mitigate the risk of the brownies coming out overly sweet. The natural bitter flavors will counterbalance the sugar’s sweetness.
-
Vegan Butter
In our testing, vegan brownies baked with oil tasted greasy and tasteless. A rich, buttery flavor is ideal for brownies, and vegan butter is excellent. With Earth Balance buttery sticks, we’ve had excellent success.
-
Dark Cocoa Powder
65% to 75% dark chocolate bars are my favorite to purchase and roughly slice. A silky-smooth chocolate sauce is made when the chocolate and vegan butter are melted together.
-
Cocoa Powder Produced by the Dutch Method
Compared to natural cocoa powder, Dutch-processed cocoa powder will yield superior results. The brownies taste smoother and have a purer, more powerful chocolate flavor.
Step By Step to Follow for Perfect Recipe
Here are some variations on this vegan brownie recipe that you are welcome to try:
-
Combine the Sugar and Aquafaba
In a bowl, combine the sugar and aquafaba. Blend the two using a standing or handheld mixer. It is finished when the mixture has wavy ribbons and a thick, glossy appearance.
You can now fold the salt, espresso powder, and vanilla into the aquafaba mixture.
-
Heat the Chocolate
Put a pot with a few inches of water and place a heatproof bowl on top. After adding the vegan butter and chopped chocolate to the bowl, quickly bring the water to a simmer. Once the chocolate has melted, stir.
Fold them together once the aquafaba mixture and melted chocolate mixture are thoroughly blended.
-
Beat the Batter
Till no dry flour is left, gently whisk the dry mixture into the wet components. Add the chocolate chips and fold. Using a spatula, level the top of the batter in the lined 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20 cm) baking pan.
-
Bake
A toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies should come out with some wet crumbs after 34 to 37 minutes of baking. But honestly, let them cool before slicing. After moving the pan to a wire rack, let it cool for at least thirty minutes. Slice them and enjoy once they’re fully cool!
Advice for Making the Greatest Brownies without Eggs
- Use the highest-quality chocolate that you can afford to locate. A good starting point is 70% dark chocolate, which isn’t overly bitter while still yielding opulent rewards.
- For the most accurate results, we always bake using a digital scale, which we heartily suggest.
- Aerating the recipe by overmixing the dry and wet components leads to dry or cakey brownies. Rather, fold everything together until the flour is no longer visible in dry streaks and everything is incorporated.
- Regarding temperature, home ovens can vary greatly, so ensure your oven thermometer is accurate before baking.
- It’s crucial to let them cool completely before handling them since they keep cooking even after being removed from the oven. They will become a sticky mess if you cut into them too soon.
