Masala Chai Brownies

These brownies are dairy-free and egg-free which makes them vegan. They have a subtle spice flavor and are delicious. If you enjoy chai lattes you will love these! To ensure your final product is vegan, use vegan sugar. The coconut is easily omitted if you aren't a fan. Be careful not to overcook them.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup canola oil
• ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup very strongly brewed masala chai

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray, and dust lightly with the 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Place the coconut in the jar of a blender, and pulse to mince; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the brewed chai, canola oil, and vanilla extract, just until all ingredients are moistened. Fold in the coconut. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is no longer shiny, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 1 hour before cutting.
