These fudgy vegan brownies use flax eggs and no butter to create a rich, dense, and chewy treat that’s perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and loved by vegans and non-vegans alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (organic cane sugar or coconut sugar optional)
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (such as avocado or light olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the flax eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until thickened and gelatinous.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk briefly to combine.
  4. In another bowl, mix 1 cup granulated sugar with 1/3 cup neutral oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Stir the prepared flax eggs into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chunks if using.
  8. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, starting to check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Make sure flax eggs are fully gelled before mixing to ensure proper binding. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough brownies. Use quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder for best flavor. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to set the fudgy texture. For extra moisture, brush melted dairy-free chocolate on top before cooling. Can substitute chia seeds ground to powder for flaxseed meal. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
