Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake as the brownies continue to cook as they cool.

Step 8

While the brownies are baking, prepare the chocolate frosting. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut cream and vegan butter together, stirring until smooth.

Step 9

Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
