Imagine a cozy afternoon spent in your sun-drenched kitchen, the scent of rich, chocolatey goodness wafting through the air, and the chatter of family resonating softly in the background.

This recipe is ideal for family gatherings, a creative twist on traditional dessert offerings, or simply for those mid-week moments when you need a sweet escape. These brownies are incredibly fudgy, adorned with a sprinkle of flaked sea salt that enhances their deep chocolate flavor, and best enjoyed with a cold cup of almond milk. Welcome to a recipe that promises not just the joy of baking, but the warmth of shared moments.
Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Servings: 12 brownies
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- Flaked sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Pour in the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps remaining.
- Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle a generous pinch of flaked sea salt over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
Helpful Tips
If you’re new to gluten-free baking, remember that the batter may look slightly different from regular brownie batter, but don’t worry, they will bake up just fine. You can substitute the coconut sugar with brown sugar if you prefer, and if coconut oil isn’t handy, melted vegan butter works well too.
Storage Instructions
Store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just thaw at room temperature before serving.
Pairings
These brownies pair delightfully with a glass of almond milk. For a more indulgent treat, serve them warm with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of homemade vegan caramel sauce.
