Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
• 3/4 cup almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!)

Pro Tip: These ingredients align with both traditional and international cuisine techniques, making them family-friendly and universally loved!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Who has time to scrub pans these days? Not us, busy bakers!

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to avoid lumps. Think of this as your Zen moment before the chaos of baking begins.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients

Pour in the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and luscious. This is the heart of simple baking secrets: let the ingredients shine!

4. Fold in the Chocolate Chips

If you’re feeling extra impulsive, throw in more than half a cup. Who are we to judge?

5. Bake to Perfection

Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center slightly gooey — perfection! Let the brownies cool before cutting into squares (if you can wait).

Serving and Storing

Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream for a dessert that doubles as a dream. Store leftovers (if any) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

Bonus: These brownies are perfect for lunchboxes, parties, or family-friendly dinner ideas where dessert is non-negotiable.
