Gluten free Vegan brownies and brownie mix. Oats + almonds + smooth chocolate. Add walnuts or other nuts for variation. Easy Soy-free Palm oil free Recipe. Makes a 9 by 9 or 8 by 8 inch brownie pan
Because brownies. I have a bunch of brownies on the blog and I keep trying to make them easier and fudgier 🙂 We all need some chocolate to start a Monday.
These brownies are super chocolatey and fudgy. I made a brownie mix by blending the dry ingredients. To bake, just mix with the non dairy milk and oil and bake! Perfect for gifting! The brownie mix can be made ahead and stored reducing all the measuring and mixing steps.
The dry flour ingredients are blended with the non dairy chocolate , sugar and cocoa and stored. You can also make the brownie from scratch with the same ingredients. Melt the chocolate in the non dairy milk and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix and bake. The brownie mix version is easier, as you can take any amount of the mix to make a smaller portion too :).
You want to use a good quality chocolate for the brownie mix. If the mix tends to make oily brownies, then reduce the chocolate(the gets ground up) amount in the mix and add some more cocoa powder. These are amazing Vegan Gluten free Brownies! Let me know if you make them.

- 1/2 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate , or dark chocolate or combination
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 2 tbsp flax seed meal

- 3 to 4 tbsp Oil , or use applesauce or half oil
- Add in: 1/3 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate chips to add to batter
Instructions
Make the brownie mix:
- Add the flours through sugar to a blender and blend well. Move the flour around as it can get packed under the blender blade. Add the chocolate, cocoa, flax seed meal and vanilla. Blend again until well combined. Move the flour around again and check under the blender blade. Transfer to a quart mason jar. Add 1/3 cup chocolate chips to the jar and store.
To make the brownie from mix:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180ºc. Prepare a brownie pan by lining with parchment. Empty the mix jar into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp non dairy milk and mix until well combined. Drop the thick batter onto the pan. Press using a spatula to even it out to almost fill the pan. Bake for 25 to 27 minutes. Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
To make the brownie from scratch:
- Heat 1/2 cup non dairy milk until just about boiling. Add flax meal, vanilla and sugar into the non dairy milk. Add the chocolate and oil and let it sit for a minute, Mix until melted and smooth. In another bowl, whisk rest of the dry ingredients. Add the whisked dry to the wet. Mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips into the batter. Drop the thick batter onto the pan. Press using a spatula to even it out to almost fill the pan. Bake for 25 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick from an inch from edge comes out clean. Cool for atleast 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Do not over bake. The brownies are done when toothpick from 1 inch from the sides comes out clean. The center might be gooey, it will continue to cook and set outside. Nutritional values based on one serving

Hi, Richa. Do you have a recommendation for vegan chocolate chips? I have used Good Life in the past, but I’d Be interested in sourcing others. Thanks!
so far everything i have tried to make on veganricha site- all worked and have been shockingly easy and delicious. Now-brownies are in the oven-can’t wait!
eee, i cant wait. Underbake these for best results
Hi there! I’ve just recently discovered i’m gluten sensitive,so i’m super excited i have found your site and all your gluten free recipes 🙂 Just wondering what can i use instead of the almond flour and flax seed meal? Can i use xanthan gum for the flax seed meal and,if so,how much? And could i just use more oat flour for the almond flour? Thank you so much!
Both of those would be big changes to do together. You can sub the flax with 1/2 tsp xanthan mixed into the flours. I wouldnt change both together. You can make your own almond flour by blending up raw almonds with 1 tbsp corn or other starch until they are a fine meal and use.
Instead of baking can we simply micro it?? If so, then for how many minutes??
it wont make the same texture as a baked brownie. You can make the batter and microwave 2 tbsp of it in a small ramekin for 30 seconds. Rest for a min before tasting. See if you like the texture.
Hi Richa thanks you for another yummy recipe I have just made this lovely recipe!. Ihave just made it now. I let it cool and only then cut. but it really crumbles once you cut. Any idea what I may have done wrong? Thanks Tamar
they might have gotten over baked. The underbaked gooeyness holds these brownies together . Maybe try with another flax or chia seed egg added and bale 2 or more mins less.
Thank you so much! I seam to have more luch with chia generally rather than flax. Can I replace the flax with chia next time and add same amount of water for creating the “egg”? Thanks much!
yes. you might need to add a 1/2 tbsp more water.
Also in general these are a bit delicate compared with with gluten brownies.
This looks soo delicious! Totally want to make this for my birthday! All my friends are non-vegan, and I don’t really tolerate oats that well, so I am just wondering if whether you hing substituting it with coconut flour, rice flour or buckwheat flour would be best?
I think a combination of buckwheat and rice would work to sub the oats. You can also try my coconut flour brownies (https://fettabbau-trim.today/2014/10/coconut-flour-brownies-vegan-gluten-free-recipe.html%3C/a%3E%29 and see if you like those. Try both before making for your birthday so you have what you like 🙂
Hello Richa! Beautiful recipes…I love going through them. I have one question, please. If I cannot use oats flour, what other gluten-free flours would you recommend? Also, as for sugar, any kind of powdered sugar is ok?
any sugar is ok. Use sorghum or millet.
Hi Richa,
Thank you for this recipe! In the instructions “To make the brownie from scratch” I don’t see when to add the oil. Is it before or after adding the chocolate? Also, would the baking time be different between an 8-inch pan or 9-inch pan?
