Vegan Black Forest Brownies
Cherry Brownie Cake made without eggs or dairy.
Servings: 10
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz pitted dates
- 1/2 cup vegan butter (we used coconut spread)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder
- 1 cup oat milk (divided) (or another non-dairy milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1-2 cups cherries (strained from a can/jar)
Instructions
- In a food processor mix 8 oz. dates, 1/2 cup vegan butter, 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup oat milk. Try to get it as smooth as you can.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Move the mixture into a large bowl, using a spatula to scrape it all out.
- Add to the mixture: 1 tsp vanilla, 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp corn starch, 1/2 cup oat milk, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp baking soda. Mix well using a hand mixer if you have one.
- Gently stir in the cherries. If you want to get cherries in nearly every bite, you can use up to 2 cups of them.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper, then pour mixture onto the parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Most likely a toothpick won't come out completely clean if you test with it, but that's OK! Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before diving in.
