Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Vegan dark chocolate, chopped
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
• 6 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseeds and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan dark chocolate and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

Step 5

Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and prepared flax egg to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Step 8

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter together with brown sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 9

Add the coconut cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture slightly thickens.

Step 10

Remove from heat and stir in sea salt to create your caramel sauce.

Step 11

Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the brownie batter, swirling with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the brownies are set but still fudgy.

Step 13

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
