Grab a bite and then try to explain to hubbs through full mouth mumbled jumbled words and moans about what he is missing. He is going through a not a big chocolate fan phase. Good for me! I need that coconut milk to down another one.

makes these extra moist and helps with the perfect fudgy texture. You really have to bite into them to find all that fudgy meltiness that’s going on! The vegan salted caramel sauce is made with coconut cream. Coconut cream is the really thick cream that separates when a full-fat coconut milk can is chilled. It makes for great whipped cream too.

Tips and Variations for Vegan Salted Caramel Brownies:

If using different flour than spelt, start with 3/4 cup and add more only if the dough is wet.

You can use 1,5 cups of AP flour instead of cashew and spelt. Add a couple of tbsps more if needed.

Should you be interested in only substituting the cashew flour with flour or other ground nuts, add 2-3 Tablespoons more oil to the mixture.

If using store-bought caramel, use about 1/3 cup.

You can omit the molasses or sub it with maple.

Keep the brownie dough on the softer side and underbake for the best results.

If they end up dry for any reason, warm them up in the microwave before serving.

You can add warmed up caramel sauce on top. That will keep the brownies softer as well.

Double this recipe for an 8 by 8 or 9 by 9 pan.





How to make Triple Chocolate Salted Caramel Brownies – Step by Step:

Mix all ingredients for the caramel and bring to a bubbly boil.







2. Add coconut cream slowly and switch off the heat once it starts to boil.







3. Add the triple treat of chocolate, oil and sugar and mix until homogeneous.







4. You can now lick this mixture or let it cool and solidify to a fudge 😉

or make brownies







5. Mix all the dry ingredients.







6. Add dry mix to warm chocolate and mix until well distributed. The key to vegan brownies not falling in the center is to make a really stiff doughy batter. The chocolate melts while baking. That means that the batter will become too viscous/high moisture causing the center to not hold during baking. If using melted chocolate in the batter, keep the batter like a dough and not a flowy cake batter.







7. Press the mixture into a pan.







8. Bake the vegan salted caramel brownies until almost done. A little longer for sturdy brownies and less for more gooey brownies. Try to keep some for others.

Mix flax meal in water and vinegar and let sit for a few minutes.
