Jamie Oliver Vegan Chocolate Brownies

Jamie Oliver Vegan Chocolate Brownies

The Jamie Oliver Vegan Chocolate Brownies are dense chocolate squares made without eggs or butter, using plant-based ingredients like oil, dark chocolate, and plant milk to achieve a rich, fudgy result.

They follow traditional brownie structure but adapt it for a fully vegan version.

Ingredients

Scale

Serves 12

    • 200 g dark chocolate (dairy-free)

    • 120 ml vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

    • 200 g caster sugar

    • 150 g plain flour

    • 40 g cocoa powder

    • 1 tsp baking powder

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    • 200 ml almond or oat milk

    • Pinch salt

Optional:

    • 80 g chopped walnuts

    • 50 g vegan chocolate chips

    • Pinch espresso powder

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate Carefully

Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.

Melt dark chocolate gently using a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short microwave bursts.

Stir until smooth and allow to cool slightly.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk oil and sugar until well combined.

Add melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and plant milk.

Mix until smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together.

Sifting prevents lumps and ensures even texture.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture.

Do not overmix — stir just until no dry streaks remain.

If using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in gently.

The batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 5: Bake Carefully

Pour batter into prepared tin and smooth the surface.

Bake for 25–30 minutes.

The edges should look set while the centre remains slightly soft. A skewer should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Step 6: Cool Before Slicing

Allow brownies to cool completely in the tin.

Cooling helps them firm up and improves slicing.
