Spelt flour is my personal favorite for these vegan brownies. Gluten free or white all purpose flour or oat flour also work. Do not substitute coconut or almond flour here.
The vegan brownies should look under-baked when they come out of the oven. Let them cool, then refrigerate uncovered. They firm up after a few hours, and the flavor and texture are so much better the next day.
For freshness, store leftover brownies in the refrigerator, uncovered or very loosely covered the first night, then fully covered in an airtight container for up to four days.
You can also slice and freeze leftovers with a sheet of parchment paper in between layers of brownies so they do not stick together. Warm up or thaw before serving.
The pictured brownies are topped with a scoop of Coconut Ice Cream.
Or serve the chocolate fudge brownies plain or topped with sliced strawberries, cherries, or raspberry jam and Coconut Whipped Cream.
You can also top them with store bought chocolate frosting (many brands are surprisingly vegan), plant based caramel, Homemade Nutella, or the following easy chocolate ganache: 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or agave, and 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, melted. Stir ingredients together to form a thin sauce. Spread over the brownies, and refrigerate or freeze 20 minutes to set

+ 1/8 tsp

Instructions
Step 1
Whisk the first 3 ingredients, then set aside. (If using flax, whisk it in as well.)
Step 2
Preheat oven to 330F. Grease a 9×13 pan, or an 8×8 pan for thick brownies, or line with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, stir all remaining ingredients. Then stir in the liquid ingredients to form a brownie batter. Smooth evenly into the pan.
Step 4
Bake 16 minutes, or 24 minutes if using an 8×8 pan. The brownies should look underdone when they come out. Let cool, then refrigerate uncovered (or very loosely covered). They start to firm up after a few hours and are nice and sliceable by the next day. The brownies are richer and sweeter the next day as well.
Step 5
After the first day, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to three months.
