Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp natural baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped smoked turkey bacon (optional)

Creamy Coffee Frosting

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter
  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, and natural baking powder to create a smooth, lump-free base.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, gently melt the plant-based butter and stir it with organic cane sugar until combined. Add strong brewed coffee, plant-based milk, and natural vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring there are no streaks of flour left. If desired, gently fold in the chopped smoked turkey bacon at this stage.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into a lined baking tray. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let them cool completely before frosting.
  5. Make the Creamy Coffee Frosting: Whip plant-based butter with plant-based powdered sugar, brewed coffee, and natural gelling agent until thick and creamy. Adjust sweetness or coffee strength as desired.
  6. Frost and Serve: Spread the creamy coffee frosting generously over cooled brownies. Cut into squares and enjoy this heavenly combo.

Notes

  • Use high-quality brewed coffee for the best flavor impact.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep brownies tender and avoid toughness.
  • Let brownies cool completely before frosting to prevent melting or sliding.
  • Add more natural gelling agent gradually if you want a firmer frosting texture.
  • Use fresh plant-based butter and natural flavorings for best taste.
