After trying multiple recipes for vegan brownies these are the best vegan brownies I have had. You can’t tell that this is a vegan recipe. This is a great recipe if you need to make brownies without egg or brownies without dairy.

Add the dry flour mixture from step 4 and stir until blended. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using. Spread evenly in the prepared pan. The batter will be thick.
