Ingredients

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

2.5 tablespoons water

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup almond milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips


Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken into a flax egg.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

4. In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, almond milk, vanilla, and the flax egg until smooth.

5. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined — do not overmix.

6. Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

9. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.


Notes

Don’t skip cooling time — it helps the brownies firm up for perfect slicing.

You can substitute almond milk with oat, soy, or any plant-based milk.

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
