Ingredients

  • *for the brownies*
  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup melted vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • *for the glaze*
  • ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoon nondairy milk more or less as needed
  • rainbow chip sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water and mix to combine. Set aside to thicken.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add in the melted butter, vanilla, and thickened flaxseed mixture. Mix until brownie batter comes together - it will be thick!
  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment (VERY important, as these brownies like to stick!), and pour in the prepared brownie mix.
  • Smooth out with a spatula, and bake for 35 minutes, until brownie appears dry on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
  • Let brownie cool to room temperature, then make the glaze. Combine the vegan chocolate chips and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and heat in 15 second increments until smooth and creamy. You may have to add a little more milk if it's too thick. It should be easy to pour!
  • Pour chocolate glaze all over the brownie, and sprinkle the rainbow chip sprinkles on top.
  • Place cosmic brownies in the fridge to help the glaze set. After it has solidified, you can store brownies at room temperature or in the fridge for a fudgier texture (my fav!).
