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!
