Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup natural granulated sugar
  • 2 plant-based eggs or 3 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp grape juice (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup colorful candy-coated chocolates (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Measure all ingredients, ensuring the plant-based butter is softened and the natural gelling agent is ready for use.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened plant-based butter and natural granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add the plant-based eggs or flaxseed mixture, vanilla extract (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), grape juice (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Beat until smooth and glossy.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder (natural), and natural gelling agent to evenly distribute the chocolate flavor and ensure fudgy texture.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Then fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  5. Bake with Cosmic Charm: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Evenly sprinkle the colorful candy-coated chocolates (plant-based) over the surface, pressing lightly so they do not sink. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft. Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on the brownies near the end to avoid overbaking and losing fudginess.
  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for the smoothest batter.
  • Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep the brownies tender and moist.
  • Press the candy-coated chocolates lightly onto the batter so they don’t sink during baking.
  • Allow brownies to cool fully in the pan before cutting for clean slices that hold their shape.
