Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup oat milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces dairy-free cream cheese
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the brownies.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, oat milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Spread two-thirds of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, beat the dairy-free cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the maple syrup, cornstarch, and lemon juice, mixing until well incorporated.

Step 7

Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Then, drop the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls over the top.

Step 8

Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cream cheese and brownie batters together, creating a marbled effect.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out with the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
