Notes
- If you're not used to vegan baking like me, be sure the ingredients you purchase are actually vegan. Things like chocolate chips and baking chocolate might not be - so check the labels.
- Don't over bake the brownies - you want a rich fudgy texture. They should just lose their glossy sheen and not look wet in the center when they're done.
- I often line my pan with foil but you can also use parchment paper.
