Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and intensify the chocolate flavor.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the light brown sugar, melted plant-based butter, apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, natural vanilla extract, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Blend Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the brownies tender and chewy.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Prepare the Frosting: While the brownies cool, beat melted plant-based butter with powdered sugar (plant-based), natural vanilla extract, and natural gelling agent until creamy and fluffy.
  7. Frost and Chill: Once the brownies are completely cooled, generously spread the frosting on top. Chill them in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes to set the frosting before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based butter and milk for smooth mixing and better texture.
  • Remove brownies from the oven when a toothpick shows moist crumbs to keep them fudgy.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and slipping.
  • Taste your frosting batter and add more powdered sugar (plant-based) if you prefer sweeter layers.
  • Use an offset spatula to spread frosting smoothly and achieve a professional look.
