| Recipe from Chloe's Vegan Desserts, by Chloe Coscarelli |
My new go-to brownie recipe is the one from Chloe's Vegan Desserts. These brownies are fudgy on the inside and crackly on the outside. My mother (not veg) was shocked that these brownies were vegan, because of the crackly-on-top marvel that is usually only found in non-vegan brownies. She asked for the recipe, which always makes me happy.
The first time I made these, I wasn't that impressed. Until the next day, when I was like "What was I thinking?" I think brownies are always better the second day. So I like to make them at night, so they're available whenever I want them the next day.
The odd thing about this recipe is that Chloe tells you to cut the hard edges off the brownies before cutting and serving. I do that, because I don't like the hard edges, but it's an odd thing to have a recipe tell you to throw away quite a bit of the finished product.
I've made these a few times, and they're a hit every time. These photos show the brownies a couple days after cooking (the only reason there were any left was because we had several sweets on hand that week). Chloe suggests storing the brownies in the fridge until serving... I keep them on the counter in a covered tupperware instead, and they keep fine for a couple days. I've never had them go bad, because they don't last long.
Warning: These brownies will make your house smell like heaven while they're cooking. I'm not even kidding.
