Ingredients
Brownies:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buckwheat flour (for gluten-free option, use 1 3/4 cups buckwheat flour and omit the all-purpose)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk

Chocolate frosting:
- 1 tbsp vegan butter, softened
- Â 2-3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar (you may need more or less, add an extra 2 tbsp at a time until you get the consistency you prefer).
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Mix together egg replacer and water. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla and egg replacer. Add dry mixture to the wet and stir to form a batter.
- Pour into an 8×8 parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 28 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before icing.
- Meanwhile, using a hand mixer, mix all frosting ingredients (add the powdered sugar a bit at a time until smooth and combined). Spread over the brownies once cooled, then slice and enjoy!
