Ingredients
To make the most luscious Double Layer Vegan Brookies – Alrightwithme, here’s what you’ll need:
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter (115g): Keep it at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1 cup granulated cane sugar (200g): Brings sweetness to the mix; organic options are fantastic for a healthier choice.
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed: This serves as your flax egg, binding the ingredients together.
- 5 tablespoons non-dairy milk: I love almond or oat milk for a creamier texture.
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (25g): Use high-quality cocoa for a rich chocolate flavor.
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour (180g): For that perfect structure.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder: To give the brownies that delightful lift.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: It enhances all the flavors beautifully.
For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter (115g): Same as before—let it soften for easier mixing.
- 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar (100g)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g): For that rich, caramel-like flavor.
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla essence: Pure extract is best for an aromatic edge.
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (60 ml)
- 2 cups plain flour (240g)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch: This helps give the cookies a chewy texture.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda: For extra lift!
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (80g): The more, the merrier!
Prep Notes:
- Ensure your plant-based butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use high-quality cocoa for the brownie layer—it makes a significant difference in taste!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper—this makes removing the brookies so much easier!
Step 2: Make the Brownie Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup plant-based butter and 1 cup granulated cane sugar until smooth—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 5 tablespoons non-dairy milk, and blend until well combined.
- Sift in 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups plain flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix!
- Pour the brownie batter into the lined baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Chef’s Tip: Use a spatula dipped in warm water to smooth the batter without it sticking.
Step 3: Make the Cookie Layer
- In another mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup plant-based butter, 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar until fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in 1/2 tablespoon vanilla essence and 1/4 cup non-dairy milk. Mix until creamy.
- Add 2 cups plain flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Combine until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake
- Carefully dollop the cookie batter over the brownie layer. Use a spatula to gently spread it out without disturbing the brownie base too much.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the brownie layer.
Chef’s Tip: Keep an eye on the oven; every oven varies in temperature.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Allow the brookies to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!
