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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
