Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or a gluten-free baking blend*)
- ½ cup organic sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- ¼ cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional mix-ins:
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, mini vegan chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or a combination (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl.½ cup whole wheat pastry flour , ½ cup organic sugar , ¼ cup cocoa powder, 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseeds, ¼ teaspoon salt
- Then mix the wet ingredients in a large measuring cup. Add the wet to the dry and mix well.¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk, ¼ cup aquafaba, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add in the mix-in(s) of your choice and mix again.¼ cup chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, mini vegan chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or a combination
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Line a 5-inch round cake or pie pan (or a loaf pan that fits in your air fryer) with parchment paper. (Alternatively you can spray the pan with oil, but then the brownies will not be oil-free.)
- Place the pan in the fryer basket or on the tray if you have an oven-style air fryer. Cook for 20 minutes. If the middle is not well set or a knife doesn't come out clean when stuck in the middle, cook for 5 minutes more and repeat as needed. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pan and your particular air fryer.
- Let the brownies cool for about 30 minutes before cutting.
Notes
Recipe from Vegan Cooking in Your Air Fryer by Kathy Hester. Reprinted by permission of Page Street Publishing.
*To make the brownies gluten-free, I use King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour or Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour.
- If your appliance has separate Air Fry and Bake settings, use Air Fry.
- Air fryers and pan sizes vary. Check for doneness after 20 minutes and continue cooking in 5-minute increments if needed.
- Store cooled brownies in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Nutrition information does not include optional mix-ins.
