Ingredients
Vegan Salted Caramel
- ¾ cup coconut cream scooped from the top of a full-fat can of coconut milk
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Vegan Skillet Brownie
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 4 tablespoons ground flax
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup cooking oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour gluten-free, if needed
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup chopped nuts see notes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or round baking dish. Heat the coconut cream, brown sugar, and salt in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat simmers. Let the caramel simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove the pot from the heat.
- To make the flax egg, mix the non-dairy milk and ground flax in a bowl and set it aside to thicken.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, cooking oil, and flax egg. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt and whisk just until combined. Stir in the chopped nuts.
- Spread half the batter in the prepared skillet Cover with ⅓ of the caramel sauce then top the caramel with the remaining batter. Place 6 dollops of the caramel sauce on the top (save some to serve with the brownies!) and then take a knife and run it through the caramel and batter to create swirls.
- Bake the brownies in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies are just barely cooked through. Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes before you scoop them from the skillet. NOTE: these brownies are wonderfully soft and best served in a bowl with the caramel sauce over top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Walnuts, pecans, and cashews are all tasty nut options.
- We used to make this recipe using So Delicious Salted Caramel Cluster ice cream instead of the milk. We've switched to milk as not everyone has access to this flavor of vegan ice cream. But if you do, and you want an extra tasty treat, go ahead and melt some and use it in place of the milk!
- This recipe is incredibly moist and fudgy - which is what makes it so delicious. But it doesn't bake well as bars so it is best scooped and served in bowls.
