Ingredients You’ll Need:
To make these Vegan Pumpkin Latte Brownies, you’ll need:
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or any other sweetener of choice)
- 1/3 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour if needed)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (for the latte flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Steps:
Step 1: Prep Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with a teensy amount of coconut oil, or line it up for easy removal with parchment paper.
Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is perfectly smooth and well mixed.
Step 3: Preparing Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder, pumpkin spice mix, and salt together.
Step 4:Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gradually fold the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until it becomes a smooth batter. If you are going to use chocolate chips, fold these at this point.
Step 5:Bake some brownies
Evenly distribute and spread the batter inside the prepared baking dish. Bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
Step 6:Cool and Serve
Let the brownies cool to room temperature before cutting them into squares.
