Ingredients

For the brownies:

  • Vegan egg replacer equivalent of 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the frosting:

  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegan honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the vegan egg replacer according to package directions and set aside.
  • Into a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. When the butter is melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, egg replacer, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Add 1/3 cup cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate.
  • Pour the entire mixture into the prepared pan, spreading to evenly cover the surface of the pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.

While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting:

  • In a small mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the remaining 3 tablespoons softened butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and confectioners sugar. The mixture will be crumbly. Add the water and continue mixing until consistency is smooth. Set aside.
  • When the brownies are done, set the pan on a cooling rack and carefully pour the prepared frosting over the hot brownies. Use a spatula to spread the frosting across the surface of the brownies.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely then refrigerate until ready to serve.
