Indulge in the fudgiest vegan fudge brownies with a rich coffee-infused flaxseed mixture, melty vegan chocolate, and perfectly balanced sweetness. These brownies are moist, dense, and intensely chocolatey — a perfect plant-based treat for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 55 minutes
  • Yield: 16 brownies

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 9 Tablespoons strong coffee (1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon)
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter sticks (not tub)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate

  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (1/2 cup for melting, 1/2 cup for mixing, plus more for sprinkling)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic white sugar
  • 1 cup organic brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Flax Egg: Mix together the hot strong coffee and ground flaxseed in a bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken and create a flax egg that will bind the batter.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there are a couple of inches of overhang on two sides for easy removal later.
  3. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of vegan butter sticks. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 15-second intervals if needed until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Break up any clumps of brown sugar or cocoa powder for an even texture.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the prepared flax egg, melted chocolate and butter mixture, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined and the batter is moistened.
  6. Pour and Smooth Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  7. Optional Topping: Sprinkle a handful of vegan chocolate chips over the top of the brownie batter for a professional, glossy look and extra chocolate bursts.
  8. Bake: Place the brownie pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. The brownies may look underbaked, but do not overcook.
  9. Cool and Remove: After baking, lift the parchment overhang to remove the brownies from the pan and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely, about 2 hours, for the best fudgy texture.
  10. Slice and Serve: Cut the cooled brownies into 16 squares and enjoy your rich vegan fudge brownies!

Notes

  • Use vegan butter sticks rather than tub butter for better texture.
  • The strong coffee enhances the chocolate flavor but can be replaced with hot water if preferred.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold together well.
  • Using parchment paper with an overhang makes it easy to lift brownies from the pan.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
