VEGAN FUDGY COCOA BROWNIES



Vegan Fudgy Cocoa Brownies image

Okay, these brownies can be addicting so beware. Each bite has a soft chewy velvety texture with a very fudgy chocolaty taste. To make my brownies vegan, I used kidney bean aquafaba (bean water) to replace the egg and vegetable oil to replace the butter. I thought there would be an awkward taste because kidney bean aquafaba (bean water) has a umami taste but it went undetected.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which makes them ideal for baking. They also help keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that they rise evenly and don't sink in the middle.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
