Ingredients

For the Brownies

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, such as Earth Balance 113g
  • 6 oz dairy free semi sweet chocolate chips, about 1 heaping cup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, 200g
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flour, 60g
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 25g

For the dairy free frosting

  • 1/4 cup unsalted vegan butter, melted, 56 g
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 35g
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, 227g
  • 3 tbsp rice milk, or soy

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or spray with nonstick baking spray. Clamp down the sides of the pan with clips to hold the parchment paper in place.
  • In a microwave safe bowl combine the 1/2 cup vegan butter and 6 oz dairy free chocolate. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted. Up to 90 seconds total. Let the chocolate cool for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in 3 eggs and whip using a whisk or the whisk attachment for 1 minute.
  • Add the 1 cup sugar and whip again for 3 full minutes.
  • Switch to a spatula and add in 1 teaspoon vanilla mix until combined. Next add in the 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Mix until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the lined baking pan and bake for 25 minutes for super fudgy brownies. Cool!

Make the frosting

  • In a large microwavable safe bowl melt the vegan butter 30 seconds at a time until fully melted. Add in the ⅓ cup cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
  • Add in the 2 cups of confectioners sugar and 3 tbsp milk. Whisk until smooth and frost cooled brownies right away otherwise it will harden.

Notes

My favorite dairy free butter to use is Earth Balance.
