Easy Vegan Brownies Recipe
I’ve been making my easy brownies recipe for a while now. However, I’ve changed a few things here and there, trying to make this recipe even more tasty. But now I’m very satisfied and, to me, it‘s the best vegan brownies recipe! I’m excited to share this made-over recipe with you because they’re super moist, rich, gooey, loaded with chocolate flavor and just sooooooo delicious!
Best Vegan Brownies with simple ingredients
These chocolate brownies are seriously vegan soul food at its best, and they only take about 30 minutes. My basic vegan brownie recipe has already saved my life a few times in a few situations where I was craving chocolate. Not only because of that rich chocolate flavor which makes your soul happy, but also because the recipe is super easy to make! You only need a few simple ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen.
No-Stick Brownie Pan Preparation
How to remove Brownies easily
Have you ever wondered how to get brownies out of the pan easily? Well, actually, you don’t need a special trick for that because the secret is just to line your pan with parchment paper. I always grease the pan before lining which helps the parchment paper stick to the pan. Just make sure that the parchment hangs out the sides, so you can grab the overhanging paper and lift the vegan brownies out of the pan when they’re ready. I find this is the best way to remove any cake easily!
How to make Vegan Brownies
You don’t need eggs, milk and dairy butter to make these best vegan brownies. I used flax eggs instead of regular eggs but you could also use mashed banana or apple sauce. I like the texture best when using vegan butter, however, coconut oil will create a fudgy texture too. To sweeten I combined organic cane sugar and brown sugar but you can use whatever sugar you like.
Chocolate Chips or other Toppings
If you’re like me, you can never have enough chocolate. That’s why I’ve also added dairy-free chocolate chips in this best vegan brownies recipe. However, not all chocolate chips are dairy-free, so I ordered them online. But if you can’t find them you can simply use another chopped chocolate of your choice.
More Topping Ideas
You can also spread a chocolate frosting or chocolate mousse over the brownies once they’re cooled. But I also like to serve them with a drizzle of peanut butter or whipped coconut cream on top. However, I‘m pretty sure you’ll like them just as they are because they’re so chocolatey and delicious even without any Toppings!
I hope you’ll like this Best Vegan Brownies Recipe. These Chocolate Brownies are:
- Vegan
- Egg-free
- Dairy-free
- Fudgy
- Moist
- Gooey
- Rich
- Chocolatey
- Quick and Easy to make
- The best chocolate treat ever!
Can I make gluten-free Brownies with this recipe?
Honestly, I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m very sure that you can! I recommend using a gluten-free flour blend which can replace regular all-purpose flour 1:1. I’ve always had a good experience with this flour blend when I used it for my recipes. So I think, this should work as a straight swap in this best vegan brownies recipe too.

Ingredients
- 2 flax seed eggs 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp hot water
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 150g (or gluten-free flour, read text*)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 75g
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup melted vegan butter 175g, or coconut oil
- 1 1/4 cup sugar 250g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- approx. 1/3 cup non-dairy milk 80ml
- 1 cup vegan chocolate drops
Instructions
- Start to make the flax-eggs: Mix the ground flax seeds into the hot water and set aside for about 5 minutes until jelly.
- Preheat the oven to 355°F (175 °C). Grease an 11x7-inch baking pan (or similar size) with a bit of vegan butter and then line with additional baking paper *as pictured in my blogpost!. (The previous greasing helps the baking paper stick to the pan).
- Slowly melt the vegan butter in a saucepan. Add the sugar and vanilla and stir until well combined.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl and give it a good whisk. Add the melted butter mixture, non-dairy milk and flax-eggs, and stir just until well combined (but please do not overmix). Finally, fold in half amount of the chocolate drops.
- Add the dough into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out. Sprinkle over the remaining chocolate drops and bake for about 30 minutes, or until desired consistency. (The longer you bake the brownies, the drier they get. So if you want moist brownies, make sure not to overbake them.)
- Let the brownies cool for 15 minutes. Then, using the overhanging baking paper, lift the brownies out of the pan and allow to cool for another 10 minutes.
- Now you can slice and enjoy the brownies!

Those really are the best.brownies.ever!!!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Hey Bianca! I love all of your recipes. I just made this but I feel they were not too liquid, more or less sticky. And can I replace flax eggs for eggs? They have to be 2? And what can I do to get a crackle top? Thanks so much!! 🙂
Hi Estefania, you can substitute the flax eggs with bananas or apple sauce as mentioned in the recipe notes! 🙂
I tried this recipe. It also works with whole flaxseeds 🙈 I took them to the freezer and out two weeks later. They are still delicious.
So glad you love this recipe, my dear Diana! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback and recipe rating! 🙂
The best brownie I’ve ever had in my life! I can recommend this for everyone, even not for a vegan people! Love it! Thank you Bianca ❤❤❤
So glad you love these vegan brownies! Thank you for your amazing feedback! 🙂
Hi Bianca,
habe eben die Brownies probiert zu machen aber leider hat sich mein Tag nicht richtig verbinden wollen. Habe Kokosöl verwendet und nur die Hälfte Zucker. Kann es vielleicht daran liegen dass es zu wenige Zucker war? Mir wären 250 Gramm einfach zu viel🙈 oder hab ich es zu stark gerührt? Ich versuchen es sicher bald noch mal mit veganer Butter und mehr Zucker. 😅
Liebe Corinna, also Brownies werden eigentlich durch den Zucker und die Butter so “zäh” und “klebrig”! 😀 Da diese hier ja vegan sind und keine Eier enthalten, würde ich empfehlen nicht an den Zutaten zu sparen 🙂 Stark Rühren sollte man aber auch auf keinen Fall! 😀 Probier es einfach nochmal aus! 🙂
A good recipe, with ingredients all can have in their fridge or shelves 😀
Thanks Bianca 😍
So glad you enjoyed these brownies! Thank you so much! 🙂
Absolutely delish! Kids gobbled them up and I served mine with strawberries. Definitely going to be our brownie recipe from now on!
So glad you love these vegan brownies! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! Lots of love, Bianca <3
Wow, Bianca, these brownies are brilliant!
Let me say that:
1. I’m not vegan, so I used eggs (beaten white) and honey (50g added to 200g of brown sugar)
2. There was no vegan butter at home, so I mixed olive oil and lard, and it surprisingly worked out (next time I’ll try with seed oil)
3. For a more proteic breakfast, I chose chickpea flour
But even this way they were really delicious!
So, thank you very much (never found a good recipe until today)! I’ve just saved this one in my own recipe book, because it is a duty to make them over and over again XD
PS: you’re right about overbaking them…
PPS: they’re amazing with peanut butter and banana or with blackberry juice/sauce!
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! So glad that you love this brownie recipe, even though you made your own version. But happy to inspire you! 🙂
This really is the best recipe, they turn out so delicious every time I make them just like all of your recipes. This is why i love your blog.
I did put little less sugar in mine but that’s because I don’t eat to sweet 😀
Hi Jelena, so glad you love these vegan brownies and my other recipes! Of course, you can adjust the sugar to your desired taste. Some people like it sweeter and some people prefer it less sweet! 😀 Thank you for your amazing feedback! 🙂
LECKER !!!
The longest 25 minutes waiting (to let the brownie cool down) I have experiemented but totally worth it.
I have used 150g sugar / 100g “80 brown flour” + 50g coconut flour / Caotina black cocoa powder (swiss chocolate brand).
Easy and quick recipe !
Hi Lily, oh, yes… waiting time can be so long, haha! 😀 So glad you liked these brownies! Thank you 🙂
Hello everybody! I made this recipe but I didn’t add butter instead used peanut butter and obviously the texture changed to a perfect cookie dough. So I made like 35 cookies with chocolate chips and walnuts. I don’t want to do it again because I shared just 1/3 of the cookies and the rest I ate alone!!! Was delicious 😋
Hi Adi, I totally love your idea to turn this recipe into a cookie recipe 😀 So glad it turned out well! Thank you for your amazing feedback! Merry Christmas to you and your family! I hope you had wonderful holidays! Lots of love, Bianca <3
These double chocolate brownies are TO DIE FOR!! They are fudgy, super moist and chocolatey. My entire family devoured them in minutes, and no one ever knew they were vegan. WIN!! Thank you for this fantastic recipe, Bianca!
Hi Rasika, so glad you love these brownies! Thank you for your amazing feedback! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Hope you enjoyed your holidays! Lots of love, Bianca <3
These brownies are absolutely amazing but mine turned out a bit too crumbly, do you know why could that be? I’ll definitely try them again!!! 🥳
Hi Dayana, so sorry to hear that! The baking time varies depending on your oven or baking pan. Please make sure not to overbake them or they’ll get dry. I suggest checking every now and then. When you insert a toothpick into the center, it should not come out completely clean. If you want moist brownies you must slightly underbake them. Hope they’ll be better next time! Lots of love, Bianca <3
Made the brownies and they were awesome! Question the ingredients say baking POWDER but the instructions mention baking SODA. I used baking soda and they came out fine. But curious to know which one is supposed to be used.
Hi Andrea, oh you’re right! There was a mistake in the instructions. Thanks for letting me know! I use just baking powder but glad to hear that yours turned out well, too! If you try the recipe again, feel free to leave your feedback if you notice a difference 🙂 Lots of love, Bianca <3
Hi just wondering if I can replace ingredients with spelt flour and stevia
Yes, sure! 🙂 But I suggest using a light spelt flour (no wholegrain) for the best consistency!
These brownies are insane 😍 the best recipe ever!! I’m gonna make them again and again
Hi Jana, so glad you liked these brownies, too! Thank you! 🙂
Made these vegan brownies today and my boyfriend and I almost ate the whole sheet on our own. They are just too yummy and chocolatey!!! Will definitely try this one again soon! 🙂
So glad you like these brownies that much! Thank you 🙂 <3
I did not add the flax seeds and they still turned out absolutely perfect! My non-vegan picky friend said the brownies tasted just like a regular brownie! I like the recipe because it’s not too sweet and the chocolate isn’t overpowering. Great recipe!
Hi Laura, so glad that you and your friend liked these vegan brownies! I’ve made them without flaxseeds last weekend too and I totally agree that they were as delicious! 🙂 Would love to know which version you like more when you make them again with an egg substitute. Thank you for your feedback! <3
Most delicious vegan brownies I’ve ever eaten. So fudgy and intense. Chocolate lovers there you go.
So happy to hear that and that you enjoyed it! 🙂 Thank you so much!
10/10 would recommend 😍 super delicious, not too sweet and perfect texture 👏🏻🤤
Thank you so much! So happy that you liked these vegan brownies too 🙂
Love brownies so much! These look so chocolaty and rich! 🙂
Thank you! Nothing’s better than fudgy and soft brownies, right? 😛
I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect!!! So tasty and perfect texture, but mostly they are so easy to make. The best comment was that they tasted better than a non-vegan brownie 🙂 5 stars!
Awww so happy about that! Thank you so much! 🙂
Das Rezept ist super! Es ging so einfach & sie sehen einfach toll aus. Ich habe auch die halbe Menge eingefroren… 🍫🥰
Das freut mich sehr zu hören! Die Idee mit dem Einfrieren ist auch super! 🙂 Dankeschön <3
Loved this recipe, so easy to make. And no problems with it being too dry or too sludgy like a lot of vegan brownie recipes. Would definitely make again! 💜
Thank you! So happy that you liked it 🙂
Hey! I made these today turned out pretty good but the batter was sticky is it normal because yours look wet in the picture, thank you
Hi Tati, my batter was not sticky. You have to add the melted vegan butter, then stir quickly because when it cools, the butter hardens, resulting in a sticky dough. Anyway, that’s not bad 😉
Unheimlich lecker und meinen Gästen ist es gar nicht aufgefallen, dass die Brownies veggie waren. Eben schnell zusammengerührt und halten sich, falls tatsächlich etwas übrig bleibt, hervorragend im Kühlschrank. Kurz in die Mikrowelle und schmeckt wie frisch gebacken 😉
Das freut mich so sehr zu hören! Vielen lieben Dank! In der Mikro mache ich sie auch gerne warm 😀
Such a great recipe. They were so moist and just perfect for a sunday treat! 😋 Will definitely bake them again! 😍🍫
