🛒Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: Good old all purpose flour works perfectly here. If you need a gluten-free option, just use your favorite gluten free blend.
- Cocoa Powder: Adds chocolate flavor and also contributes to the structure of the brownies.
- Granulated Sugar: If you want to use coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar, please feel free to do so. I've tested this recipe with coconut sugar, and it still tastes delicious.
- Brown Sugar: You can use light or dark brown sugar in this recipe.
- Vegan Butter: I used vegan butter from a tub. If you want to use vegan butter from a stick, be sure to let it soften. You could also use coconut oil here.
- Unsweetened Applesauce: Adds moisture to the brownies and helps to reduce the amount of fat needed in the recipe. You could also use mashed bananas or pumpkin puree as a substitution.
- Almond Milk: Helps to bring the batter together and adds moisture. You can use any plant based milk you like.
- Vanilla: I always recommend using the best quality vanilla extract you can afford. It really does make a difference to the flavor. If you want to change the flavor, you could also use peppermint extract or almond extract.
- Salt: Makes all the flavors pop. You can omit the salt if you're on a low salt diet.
- Chocolate Chips: Have a look at my top vegan chocolate chip brands.
🥄How To Make Edible Brownie Batter
- Preheat your oven to 300℉. Spread the flour out on a baking sheet and bake for 5-8 minutes. This is called heat treating flour. This process helps to eliminate any harmful bacteria that may be present in the flour. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add in the softened vegan butter, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
- If the batter is too thick, add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Enjoy the edible brownie batter as is or use it as a dip for your favorite vegan snacks. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

- Swirl in a spoonful of peanut butter into the batter for a peanut butter-chocolate flavor.
- Add a few drops of peppermint extract and fold in mini chocolate chips for a minty twist.
- Mix in vegan mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs for a s'mores flavor.
- Drizzle in some dulce de leche and sprinkle with sea salt for a sweet and salty combination.
