6-Ingredient Vegan Flourless Brownies Recipe

(Adapted for vegan from popular flourless styles; makes 9-16 brownies in an 8×8 pan)

Ingredients:

1 cup (256g) creamy almond butter (or any natural nut/seed butter; no added oil/sugar preferred)
½ cup (100g) coconut sugar (or maple syrup/brown sugar for sweetness)
⅓–½ cup (30-40g) unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup or agave (adjust for sweetness)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking soda (for lift and tenderness)
Optional: ¼–½ cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, pinch of salt, chopped nuts

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix the wet base: In a large bowl, stir together the almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Add dry ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt (if using) until a thick batter forms. It will be glossy and fudgy—don’t overmix. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
Bake: Spread evenly in the pan. Bake for 18–25 minutes (closer to 18–20 for extra gooey centers). A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Cool completely — This is key! They firm up as they cool for the best texture. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Pro Tips:

For even richer flavor, melt ½ cup vegan dark chocolate with the almond butter.
Want oil-free? This version already is when using natural nut butter.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temp for 3–4 days, fridge for up to a week, or freeze for months.

These brownies prove vegan baking can be simple, indulgent, and crowd-pleasing. They’re perfect for weeknight cravings, potlucks, or gifting.
