Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (for frosting)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine almond milk, melted coconut oil, and granulated sugar. Mix until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few fudgy crumbs.

Step 8

While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting: in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together, stirring constantly until smooth.

Step 9

Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional almond milk if necessary.

Step 10

Once the brownies are done, let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula.

Step 12

Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free classic brownies!
