Gluten Free Fudgy Vegan Brownies
Alright – roll out the red carpet. Gluten free fudgy vegan brownies are on the A-list. They are moist, chewy and oozing with double chocolatey goodness. Oh- and did I mention that they are gum free and oil free? They are also lower in sugar than a traditional brownie recipe. Yep! Bite me, vegan brownies for the most discerning, groovy brownie lover.

Bite me! RÜT
Special thanks to our friend, Josh Lorenzen, Executive Chef at RÜT Spokane. RÜT is an awesome vegan restaurant specializing in an upscale yet casual approach to vegan dining. Josh challenged us to create a vegan brownie recipe worthy of his menu. These brownies are definitely worthy of his pallet – he loved them! We hope you love them as much as we do. They are made with loads of love.
Best Vegan Brownies
Here are a few tips to making the best vegan brownies.
- Bake brownies using convection in the top third of your oven. The convection program ensures that the crust of your brownies get as crusty as possible.
- Choose either tofu or pumpkin as your filler. Tofu will give you a more spongy, fudge texture. Pumkin provides a rich, fudgy texture that we prefer over tofu. Both taste delicious. It’s up to you!
- Use psyllium husk fiber. We do not use xanthan gum in this recipe, but if you do use it, use only about 1/2 tsp.
- Use agar agar for a firmer, fudgy texture. Especially if you like to top with ice cream. If you skip the agar powder, your brownies will taste more chocolatey-gooey.
- Mini chocolate chips are awesome in this recipe. Bits of chocolate melt in the mouth with every bite. YUM!
- You can use two teaspoons of vanilla instead of one plus the coffee bakery emulsion. Or you can add two teaspoons of espresso powder in place of the emulsion.

- Grease pan with non-stick spray, butter or our baking Goop
Step 1: Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
Step 2: Beat together the wet ingredients at medium-high speed for about 1-2 minutes. Be mindful that tofu takes a bit longer to incorporate. Scrape down the bowl and stir.
Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a sturdy spoon until dry mix is fully incorporated.
Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the top, and evenly sprinkle chocolate chips. Bake in a preheated 350 F/ 177 C convection oven on the top third rack for 20-23 minutes. The middle will feel soft to the touch – no jiggles.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before cutting.
Enjoy!
