Fudgy and Gooey Aquafaba Brownies (Vegan and Gluten-free)

Aquafaba Brownies

Today we have prepared these delicious vegan & gluten-free brownies using aquafaba. We really think that these are the best vegan brownies you will ever eat. They are fudgy, gooey and have that crisp, crinkly top that we think every brownie should have.

It can be tough to find vegan brownies that are gooey, and moist, in most cases they are dry or crumbly, whilst others can be too oily. This brownie sets really high standards for both vegan and non-vegan brownies.

How to know when to take your brownies out?

You will know when you insert a toothpick and it comes out moist with a little bit of crumbs or thick batter. Please note that your Brownies will continue to bake once removed from the oven with the residual heat so you don’t want the toothpick to come out completely clean. 

Check the brownies 5 minutes earlier than you think they would be ready, and note that every oven is different. Personally, I prefer my brownies moist and gooey, so I would rather they be slightly under baked.

If the toothpick comes out with a liquid batter, the brownies need some extra time in the oven; in our experience, around five more minutes, before you check them again.

Why does aquafaba make this brownie recipe the best?

1. The ultimate shiny, crinkly top on the brownies

This can be really difficult to achieve on any brownies let alone vegan brownies, so to finally crack this vegan and gluten-free recipe that has the ultimate brownie top, it’s one we had to share! 

It creates the best texture on top of the soft and fudgy brownie.

2. Fudgy and moist texture

Our aquafaba brownies create a fudgy, moist, chocolatey texture that is created without eggs and instead from the liquid from a can of chickpeas. It may be untraditional in brownies but works incredibly well. 

You can also try our vegan macaron recipe using aquafaba – it is one of our favourites!

3. Rich chocolate flavour

Use high-quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder. This will largely impact the texture and deep chocolate taste of your brownies. We also added one teaspoon of espresso/coffee powder, this intensifies the chocolate taste!
