Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or another plant-based milk)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Neutral oil (e.g., canola or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes. This will create your vegan buttermilk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the prepared vegan buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated, but be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the vegan chocolate chips for extra richness and texture.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out 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 with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy! These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
