Recipe

You guysssss, I’ve made a huge mistake.

I’m over here with my hands over my face because all these years, all these chocolatey wonderful years, I’ve been eating my vegan edible brownie batter and I NEVER TRIED TO BAKE IT.

Because, like, WHY would you bake it? Brownie batter is the best and I created that recipe specifically so I could eat some worry-free, unbaked brownie batter.

All this time I’ve been sitting on a recipe for an individual brownie that is so fudgy, so chocolatey, and still vegan and delicious. Sprinkle with a few extra mini chocolate chips and flaky salt before baking for the ultimate in vegan chocolate desserts.

Ingredients

Coconut oil
Pure maple syrup
Vanilla extract
Cocoa powder
All-purpose flour
Sea salt
Chocolate chips

How to make a single serving brownie

Mix coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla in a small bowl.
Add cocoa powder, flour, and salt and stir until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Transfer to a parchment lined ramekin, smooth the top, and sprinkle with more chocolate chips and salt.
Bake at 350ºF for 9 minutes.

Top tips

Vegan chocolate chips

I like Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips (affiliate link). They are free from most top allergens, including any animal products. I purchase these in the natural foods section of the grocery store.

I have only seen their regular chocolate chips sold in dark chocolate, but I prefer their semi sweet chocolate chips, so that’s why I chose a combination of the mini chips and chunks.

How to eat a single serving vegan brownie

I like to enjoy this treat straight out of the ramekin, but if you want to take your brownie out of the ramekin, you can line your ramekin with parchment to make it easier to remove.

As you can see in the video, I cut out a circle of parchment the size of the bottom of my ramekin, then one strip that would reach over both sides creating a sort of basket. Use the strip to lift out the brownie after it has cooled a bit.

Feel free to pull it out of the oven at exactly 9 minutes or a few seconds early if you are eating it straight out of the ramekin. If you’re going to want to hold the brownie in your hand, leave it in for an extra 30-60 seconds to let it firm up a little more.

If you don’t have a ramekin, you can buy one here (affiliate link) or use any other small, oven safe bakeware. I have tested this on a baking sheet, and it turns into a really fudgy cookie!

The best dessert salt

Any coarse salt will work, but I like to top my desserts with Fleur de sel, Maldon sea salt flakes, or other flaky sea salt.

Tips for customizing:

Don’t bake it and just enjoy it as vegan brownie batter for one

Add a small scoop of nut butter to the center before baking

Serve with a scoop of coconut ice cream

Drizzle with extra melted chocolate

Add 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts, such as walnuts

FAQ

Is this like a mug brownie?

This is the same base recipe as my brownie in a mug. It’s quick and easy to make and serves one person. It is also baked in the oven instead of the microwave, which is a huge bonus if you’re someone who doesn’t like microwaving things.

Can I make this chocolate brownie in the microwave?

For a microwave version, I recommend trying my vegan mug brownie. The recipe needs a little more water to come out just right in the microwave, and that recipe will walk you through just how to do that.
