Still getting around to doing your holiday baking? While everyone else is making cookies, give these brownies a try! Enjoy as is, or top them off with your favorite vegan ice cream or coconut whip cream. To make these brownies a little more festive you can top them off with broken vegan candy cane pieces or sprinkles.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (unbleached, vegan) sugar
6 Tbs cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons coconut oil (canola should work as well)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a square casserole dish or line with foil.

Step 2

Combine and mix all the wet ingredients in one bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) and slowly add them to the wet mixture.

Step 3

If you want chips inside the brownies, add them to the batter. Otherwise, pour the mixture into the pan and sprinkle the chips on top of the batter before baking.

Step 4

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 5

Allow to cool (at least slightly) before cutting and serving. Top with vegan ice cream, whipped cream or sprinkles for a more festive appearance, or enjoy with a glass of non-dairy milk.
