Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with plant-based butter to ensure the bars bake evenly and can be removed cleanly.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat plant-based butter with brown and granulated sugars until creamy and smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract (natural), mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to distribute leavening and seasoning evenly.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Slowly fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the plant-based chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution for pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
  6. Bake and Cool: Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden around edges and set in the center. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough and even blending.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bars.
  • Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes; bars should be firm yet slightly soft in the center.
  • Allow bars to cool fully to set and for cleaner slices.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal.
