Vegan Brownies Recipe - Dessert For Two - Season 3, Episode 19

Start by adding 3/4 cup of creamy unsalted almond butter into a bowl.

Pour in 1/2 cup of maple syrup, which acts as the sweetener and liquid.

Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for chocolate flavor.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for richness and creaminess.

Stir all ingredients together until completely homogeneous.

Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds to warm it slightly, then stir again.

Add a big pinch of salt to the mixture.

Next, add 3 tablespoons of flour (or brown rice flour for gluten-free) and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

If using regular flour, mix the batter with 50 brisk strokes to activate the gluten; if using gluten-free flour, skip this step.

Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper: turn the pan upside down, place parchment over it, and fold the corners as if wrapping a present.

Flip the pan over and fit the parchment paper inside.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it to the edges.

Top the brownie batter with 3 ounces of vegan chocolate chips or chopped vegan baking bar.

Bake in the oven at 325°F until done, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper for easy lifting.

Cut into about 8 small brownies and enjoy.
