Vegan Fudgy Cocoa Brownies Food

THE ULTIMATE FUDGY VEGAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• First, line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Refer to the photos above or the notes below for the best way to do this. Then rub some softened butter on top of the parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the hot melted butter and sugar. Then, whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Mix the dry ingredients into the bowl with the butter and sugar mixture until well combined.
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter evenly into the baking pan.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges look hardened/have pulled away from the edges of the pan and the top looks set (no longer looks like raw batter.) Be careful not to over bake. Because these are fudgy in texture, a fork/knife may not come out clean when done. Once the brownies have cooled to room temperature, they will set up.
• Let cool for about 30 minutes in the pan. Then grab the parchment paper handles and pull the brownies out. Set on a wire rack to finish cooling completely before cutting.
• For clean-cut brownies, run a clean knife under hot water in between each slice.
• Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray, line with parchment and spray again.
• Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Whisk until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute. Add the milk, vanilla extract, baking powder and salt and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips and fold with a rubber spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until fully set and the top is firm, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Slice into 9 squares and serve.

• Pour batter (it will be quite liquidy) into a greased 9x9" pan and bake at 325º for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• (Note- for a smaller pan, the baking time could be substantially longer- a 7x10 pan took about 40 minutes).
• For glaze- melt the chocolate and margarine and whisk, then drizzle over brownies.
• (Note- this is a lot of glaze- an ounce of chocolate and a tablespoon of margarine makes a nice amount).
