Hi Barbara, we haven’t tested the recipe using those ingredients before, which makes it hard to advise where the issue is coming from. Maybe try decreasing the vegan butter by 25g to see if that makes the texture better. Hope that helps!

I love this recipe!!! However l have tried a few times to create a “vegan” version of these lovely brownies for my daughter but they always turn out super oily. I use vegan butter (as a butter replacement) and flax eggs (as egg replacements). Any suggestions? I’m trying to create vegan versions of your recipes.

Delicious! Tastes even better with raspberries on top.

I love this recipe, I add chunks of chocolate and pull it out about 8-10 mins early so it remains fudgey - it looks underdone but firms up a bit as it cools

Tiffany Grantham

Yes I agree with the below 2 comments it’s more of a chocolate cake than the traditional brownie but still yummy.

Taste like brownies but the texture is like cake, not the recipe if you want soft, fudge type brownies

Marjorie Wilson

Best brownie recipe ever! It’s so good I’m now famous among my friends for my brownie. I like to add walnuts to mine though. Once you try this recipe you will never need to look at another brownie recipe again!
