Vegan Double Chocolate Brownies

Serves 12

Vegan Double Chocolate Brownies

“These Vegan Double Dark Chocolate Brownies aren’t trying to be anything they’re not. They won’t promise you all the nutritional benefits of a salad, or the fibre content of a bowl of porridge. They are simply bloody good brownies. Rich, dense, fudgy, and bold in their cocoa flavour. Just like a brownie should be.”

Method

  • Step 1Preheat your oven – 160 C / 140 C fan / 325 F / gas mark 3.
  • Step 2Grease and line a 20 x 20cm (8 x 8in) or 20 x 30cm (8 x 12in) tin.
  • Step 3Weigh out your chocolate and butter/margarine together in a heatproof bowl.
  • Step 4Using either a microwave in 30 second blasts, or setting the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, melt your chocolate and butter/margarine together until smooth
  • Step 5In another large bowl, whisk together your sugar, yoghurt and vanilla.
  • Step 6Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar/yoghurt bowl and mix well to combine.
  • Step 7In a small bowl, stir together your flour, cocoa and salt.
  • Step 8Tip this into your chocolatey mixture and stir gently until you have a sumptuously dark and smooth brownie batter.
  • Step 9Pour the brownie batter into your prepared tin.
  • Step 10Top the batter with buttons or broken chunks of dark dairy free chocolate.
  • Step 11Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes. By this point you should be able to shake the tin without seeing a jiggle in the middle!
  • Step 12Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin. Patience isn’t fun, but it’s worth it.
  • Step 13Slice your brownies into 12-20 pieces.
  • Step 14Enjoy!
