I am so excited to be sharing a recipe from Fuss-Free Vegan by Sam Turnbull! It was a hard decision choosing which recipe to share with you. Once I saw the recipe for Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies, I just had to share the recipe with you! These Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies from Fuss-Free Vegan are perfect for the holiday baking season!

The hardest part about making the Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies from Fuss-Free Vegan was waiting for them to cool overnight. It was hard not to sneak a piece before they had completely cooled.
Some of the other recipes that I can't wait to make from the book include:

Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies from Fuss-Free Vegan
These brownies are very bit as fudgy and chocolatey as a good brownie should be. The edges are lightly crisp and the center is chewy and full of rich chocolatey goodness. My sneaky-deaky trick to making the perfect fudgy brownies is to let them rest overnight. But if you can't wait to dig in, go for it; the brownies will just be soft and crumbly-perfect for crumbling them over top Instant Vanilla Ice Cream (page 176) for a real treat. If you're having a wicked chocolate craving, these will be your new best friend!
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup vegan butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup non-dairy milk (such as soy or almond)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 12 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease an 8 by 8 baking pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt together the chocolate chips and butter, making sure to remove the saucepan from the heat just as it's finished melting to ensure you don't burn the chocolate.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla and mix well. Now add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined. Finally, add the walnuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the brownies are pulling away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs on it. Let the brownies cool and set overnight. This is the key to perfect gooey brownies.
- To store, let the brownies cool completely, then cover with foil or plastic wrap and keep at room temperature for the best texture. For longer storage put in an airtight container and store in the fridge.

Yay! Thanks so much for reviewing my book! Thrilled you loved it so much 😀
Laura
for larger batches is multiplying by 3 or 4 OK or does it change result?
Can I use coconut oil instead of v butter? What about a mix of fats? Safflower, coconut, vegan margarine?

I'm not sure about doubling the recipe. I haven't tried that. I would think that coconut oil would be good to use instead!
