Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk

Chocolate Chips

  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup rainbow-colored plant-based chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your baking pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with plant-based butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, natural gelling agent, and baking soda to ensure even mixing and a smooth batter base.
  3. Melt the wet ingredients: In a saucepan, gently melt the plant-based butter over low heat. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Remove from heat and mix in the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar to enhance richness and deepen the chocolate flavor.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to form a uniform batter. Slowly add the plant-based milk to reach a thick but pourable consistency. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the plant-based chocolate chips to create gooey chocolate pockets throughout the batter. Reserve the rainbow-colored chips for the topping.
  6. Bake your Cosmic Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the rainbow-colored plant-based chocolate chips generously on top for a vibrant cosmic look. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are set and the center remains slightly fudgy.
  7. Cool and slice: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares. Cooling helps set the texture and prevents crumbling.

Notes

  • Measure ingredients precisely to balance fudgy and cakey textures perfectly.
  • Do not overbake; remove brownies when the center is just set for moist, chewy results.
  • Cool completely before cutting to achieve neat slices and prevent melting.
  • Use quality natural cocoa powder to enhance chocolate intensity.
  • Customize toppings with nuts or shredded coconut for extra texture contrast.
