Vegan Brookies

These Vegan Brookies are the best of both worlds! Combining brownies and cookies into one moist delicious square for the best dessert you have ever tried! 

Have you ever wanted a cookie, but you kind of wanted a brownie too? Then you’re sitting there thinking like is it ridiculous to make a batch of brownies and cookies? 

Never be stuck in that situation again (I know, first-world problems right?)! Brookies are exactly that. A moist cookie and chocolate brownie combined into one, and by the way these babies are vegan and use only whole ingredients! 

Not only are you making an easy healthy dessert, you’re also choosing a healthier alternative from the store bought box mixes!

Ingredients for Vegan Brookies 

For the brownie layer:

natural peanut butter

coconut oil

maple syrup

coconut sugar

flax eggs – don’t know how to make a flax egg? Keep reading!

cocoa powder

oat flour

For the cookie layer:

peanut butter – if your natural peanut butter doesn’t have salt in it, you may want to add a little

coconut oil

maple syrup

vanilla extract

oat flour

chocolate chips – a healthy option for using chocolate in baking is Lily’s. There are tons of chocolate to choose from with non gmo options, dairy free, and gluten free.

How To Make a Flax Egg

Flax eggs are a great substitute in baking recipes especially but for future reference, they are not always a 1:1 swap for regular eggs. For this recipe, we did test for flax eggs and 2 is the perfect amount.

To make a flax egg, combine one tablespoon of ground flaxseed into 2 tablespoons of water. Then let it rest for a few minutes to let it thicken up some. 

How To Make Brookies Vegan Friendly

Preheat your oven and line your square baking pan with parchment paper. For this recipe, we are using an 8×8 pan.

Mix up your flax eggs and set them to the side so they have time to thicken. Refer to the section before on how to make a flax egg. 

We are going to make the brownie layer first. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until the texture is smooth.

Slowly whisk in your cocoa powder until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Whisk in salt (optional) and flax eggs.

Slowly fold in the oat flour until the batter resembles a very soft dough, with no flour patches remaining.

Pour batter into your pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer. Now we will start on the cookie layer. 

In a medium mixing bowl, add the peanut butter (or nut butter if you are swapping this out), maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir well, then pour in the oat flour and mix. 

Fold in the chocolate chips and let the cookie dough sit for about 5 minutes. 

Spoon cookie dough over the brownie layer until you have used all of it. 

Bake for 20 minutes uncovered. Then cover with foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Before serving and slicing let them cool, if not they will fall apart when you try to take them out of the dish.
