Instructions for Making Brownies from the Mix
When you’re ready to bake, follow these steps:
Additional Ingredients Needed
- ½ cup (120ml) non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy)
- ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ½ cup (90g) dairy-free chocolate chips or nuts
Baking Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the brownie mix and stir until just combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
- Pour into Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
