The Best Vegan Fudge Brownies

This recipe for vegan fudge brownies took many, many trials and fine-tuning. I have a brownie connoisseur in the house, so making the perfect batch of brownies has always been a challenge. To me, the perfect brownies have a cracked top, crisp edges, and soft fudgy middle pieces. This recipe is hands down, the best recipe for brownies that I have tried, and they are completely vegan friendly.

How to make Vegan Fudge Brownies

To make fudgy vegan brownies, the first important step, is to melt vegan butter with chocolate. This is what makes them so perfectly fudgy. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove it from the heat and mix together apple sauce, vanilla and sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix the chocolate into the wet ingredients, and then stir in the dry ingredients to make the batter. I like to add walnuts for a little extra crunch and some texture, but they are completely optional (you’ll certainly want to omit them if somebody has an allergy!)
