Brownie recipes are among the most loved desserts because they are simple and versatile. They can be made fudgy, chewy, or cakey, and they work for everyday baking as well as special occasions. The method is straightforward, and the ingredients are easy to keep on hand.
For vegans, brownies are a reliable choice because they donāt depend on eggs or dairy. Common swaps like flaxseed, chia seed, or nut butter provide structure, while cocoa powder and dairy-free chocolate keep the flavor rich. Gluten-free options are also popular, and substitute options like oat or almond flour in place of wheat, without losing that classic brownie texture.
