Decedent, dark chocolate vegan brownies specked with chocolate chips and pomegranate jewels.
Pomegranates and chocolate is such a great combo and the little jewels are so beautiful as a topping.
Ingredients needed to make these Vegan Pomegranate Brownies:
- Flaxseed meal, instead of eggs to thicken the brownies and hold them together. Flaxseeds are also a good source for Omega-3 essential fatty acids and fiber
- Almond milk, I love unsweetened almond milk and use it in most of my recipes. It can also be substituted for another plant based milk like, soy or coconut milk.
- Coconut oil, my go to when baking vegan. Substituted for another neutral tasting oil like avocado or sunflower oil.
- Coconut sugar, the slight caramel flavor goes so well with the chocolate in this recipe. If you don’t have coconut sugar you can substitute for light brown sugar
- All purpose flour
- Cocoa powder, I use good quality and unsweetened
- Almond meal, I love the texture, flavor and moisture this brings to the brownies
- Baking powder, just a little for that slight puff
- Pinch of salt, if you ask me a little salt is necessary in all things chocolate, it really brings out the flavor!
- Pomegranate seeds, go through them and remove all white parts that might still remain. In some stores you can by the seeds already removed for you with is a time and mess saver.
- Dairy free chocolate chips, use your favorite brand here
