Fudgy Brownies… fudgy VEGAN brownies. Is that even possible?
I have to say, in my family I’m kind of the brownie queen. Well, at least I was. Back in my pre-plant-based life.
Hosting a pot-luck? I’ll bring the brownies.
Bake sale? My brownies would sell like hotcakes.
Family get-together? The brownies will disappear in minutes.
The brownies I always used to make were super fudgy in the middle. Flaky on the top. Basically the best brownies ever.
I’ve healthified them in the past with my best ever healthy brownies, but as much as I love them they just didn’t have the same fudge-factor that I crave and NEED in a brownie.
So instead, I’ve lived a sad brownie-less life for the last few months.
That is, until…
This beauty showed up on my doorstep. Sam, of It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken, has put her heart and soul into her new cookbook, “Fuss Free Vegan.“
As soon as I unwrapped it, I started flipping through the recipes – Oh.Em.Gee! I do not have enough hours in my life to make all the recipes I want to make from this book:
- Life-Changing Mozzarella (I have all the ingredients – just gotta find the time)
- Fluffy Chocolate Frosting
- Hearts of Palm Crab Cakes
- Absurdly Cheesy Broccoli Soup
ALL vegan. ALL plant-based. ALL absolutely need to put in my belly asap!
And of course, I came across Sam’s Fudgy Vegan Brownies, and it was a no-brainer that I’d be making them before anything else in the book.
Thankfully, she’s letting me share the recipe with you today too! You are in for a treat with these!
- ooey gooey
- dark and rich
- flaky on top
- the best edges ever
- so easy!
And since you’re obviously a chocolate fan like me, I wanted to be sure you saw my Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes and Vegan Fudge Cups as well. You will love those recipes!
Here are the recipe details.
Fudgy Vegan Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan. I also line it with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, melt together the chocolate chips and butter, making sure to remove the saucepan from the heat just as it’s finished melting to ensure you don’t burn the chocolate.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla. Mix well. Now add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until combined. Finally, add the walnuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the brownies are pulling away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the venter comes out with just a few moist crumbs on it. Let the brownies cool and set overnight. This is the key to perfect gooey brownies.
- To store, let the brownies cool completely, then cover with foil or plastic wrap and keep at room temperature for the best texture. For longer storage put in an airtight container and store in the fridge.

Made these for the first time and took them to my small group at church.
I’m the only Vegan and every week I like my friends to experience food from “the other side 🤣”.
They LOVED the brownies.
Rich, chewy, moist and delicious.
Will definitely be making these again and again and again.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you Pam! That is great to hear! Love this, glad they were a hit!

Hi!
First off these brownies are amazing!!! There’s one problem I run into constantly. Some part of the brownies come out just right. I can cut them without them crumbling. The rest seems like it needs to bake longer. I can’t cut them as easy and they fall apart. They also look and feel like they should bake longer. This happens within the same pan. I’ve followed the recipe exactly how it is. I’ve even let some bake a bit longer, but I still get the same results. Any clue of what I should do? My niece and I are determined to get these to perfection!
Hi! these look delish. I am new to vegan baking and, looking at this recipe, I am not sure what ingredient is holding the batter together? There is no replacement for the eggs. What will baking due to bind this into a brownie? I was thinking of making them for Easter.
Hi Gina! Vegan baking can be so intimidating – I know it was for me. But these brownies are held together with the melted chocolate and the nondairy milk. They were the best vegan brownies I’d ever tried and everyone I’ve tested them on feels the same. Enjoy!
So funny, the video appeared on my facebook and I was like, huh, those look like my brownies, then I saw the image of my cookbook! Now I ask myself, how in the world did I recognize a brownie!?!?!?! Hahhaa. Thanks so much for sharing, and for the awesome video!!!
haha I love that you can recognize your brownies! Of all the brownie recipes out there, you spotted yours. Well they are absolutely deLISH and I was so sad when they were gone – time to make more!
