Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Topping

  • 1/3 cup sprinkles (natural colorings)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Measure all ingredients to streamline the mixing process.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, sugar, and natural gelling agent. Sifting removes lumps and evenly distributes the natural gelling agent for the perfect texture.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine melted plant-based butter, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk until everything is smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the batter is uniform and no flour pockets remain. Avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
  5. Add the Sprinkles and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Evenly scatter sprinkles (natural colorings) on top for the signature cosmic sparkle. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Slice: Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan placed on a wire rack. Lift out using parchment paper, then slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements to ensure consistent results.
  • Stir the batter only until combined to keep brownies soft and fudgy.
  • Check brownies a few minutes before baking time ends to prevent drying.
  • Use room temperature plant-based milk and butter for better mixing.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for neat cuts and improved texture.
