Instructions
Ultimate Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- Make the flax eggs by stirring the ground flax and water in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted vegan butter and sugar together. Add in the flax eggs, almond milk, oil and vanilla, then whisk until evenly combined.
- Add in the cocoa powder and mix, then add in the flour, salt and baking powder and stir with a large wooden spoon until just combined, do not over mix.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a cake tester inserted into the center has moist crumbs attached. Do not overcook. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan before frosting of cutting or before cutting into squares.
Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Frosting
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse to incorporate, then process until the frosting is smooth or you can use a mixer and mix until creamy consistency is desired. Add more milk if necessary or more confectioner's sugar as needed. Spread frosting on top of brownies, add sprinkles if desired.
- Cover and store leftover brownies at room temperature for up to 5 days or place in fridge for up to a week.
