Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
- 4
Stir in the applesauce and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- 6
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, if using.
- 7
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Remember, we want fudgy brownies, not cakey ones!
- 9
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out with the parchment paper. This is crucial for that perfect fudgy texture and clean slices.

Cut into 9 squares and enjoy your glorious, guilt-free treat!
Pro Tips
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
