These vegan deluxe brownies have everything I love about brownies: they’re supremely fudgy, chewy, intensely chocolatey, and have a shiny, crinkly top! I think you will LOVE them.

Hi, fam! We're thinking of doing more "vegan deluxe" videos where I try to upgrade a standard recipe. Would you like to see more? Any recipe ideas? Drop your thoughts below!
Can’t wait to try these🤩
These were THEEE BEST brownies ever. Non vegans and vegans will love this! Like OMG thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. Now I’m trying to figure out how I can make this indulgent treat “healthy” 😆
Y’all… if you’re looking for a brownie recipe to beat them ALL!!?? Pick this oneeeee I BEG OF YOU. THESE TURNED OUT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT like mind blowingly perfect !!!!!!
Enjoyed the video
We just made these today. While we really liked the chewiness of the brownie, there is faaaaar too much cocoa powder in the recipe. We used the same cocoa powder that you recommended and the brownies were quite bitter with cocoa flavour. We agreed to half the amount in the recipe for next time!
Having tried over 20 brownie recipes, this really is the best brownie recipe I have come across! AND it has a crinkly top, which I love!
THANK YOU
OMG lol. Dad eating brownies in the hot tub is EVERYTHING.
Do you have a pizza recipe? I just bought your book for Instant Pot cooking book.
I love it that your family is part of the program. I am afraid to make these, i may just eat the whole batch.
Your dad is the best! 🙂
This video was brilliant.
These look great.
Thank you for sharing! 🤗 Tried this today and it tasted really really good but for some reason my brownie turned out to be slightly oily.. was wondering what could contribute to this oily texture (we followed the instructions per recipe as is) 🤔😐
Yes please
I love your totally unbiased taste testing panel! They are funny and beautiful. The brownies look crazy good, of course!
I would watch a food review show with your dad every day.
made these last night. seriously THE BEST brownies i’ve ever had – and i’m not even vegan. chewy, fudgy, crinkly, perfectly sweet. thank you so much for this recipe!!!!
I 💜💜💜 ur daddy
quiche, other baked goods pies, etc….. scrambled eggs, some alternative or super moist tasty thing for roast – nut roast has such a bad rep….
Your family looks so fun! If you do this again, you should prank them by saying that the worse, store-bought version is yours to see how they react lol (and obviously then tell them the truth)
Your dad is AMAZING
I can vouch for these and I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten free flour. Thanks Nisha! Delisha!
I loved the taste test!
Can we add walnuts to these brownies? They look delicious!!!
Your dad is the best 😆
Super Fun Video and taste testing lol! I totally need to make these! They look so good!😍😄 I'm allergic to eggs so I love trying delicious vegan recipes to still enjoy as close to the original food, but with the peace of mind that I won't have a reaction. I just want to eat delicious food! It's the challenge though that pushing me to be creative and many trust to come up with some really delicious wholesome food that's safe to eat and taste great!! Thank you for being creative and challenging yourself to make these!😇 Recipe challenge idea is vegan lemon bars! It's a struggle to make them close to real deal. Would love your advice ☺️.
😂 your dad is a great food critic
Hey Nisha! At 3:43 you mentioned how doing that step helped get that crinkly top. There's a channel on youtube called Adam Ragusea where he actually works with a food scientist to get to the bottom of why and how to get a crinkly top like that. He has a two part series and the part where he explains how to get it (including his MANY test bakes to get it right) and you can look up his video called "How to give brownies a smooth, glossy top" where he explains that it's the dissolving of sugars that causes that to happen. Maybe next time you experiment you could try using powdered sugar or grinding up some sugar in a spice grinder to see if that affects it at all. Either way, this is a great recipe, keep up the awesome work!
Made these but didn’t use espresso powder bc my family aren’t coffee drinkers and we had every other ingredient so we just added extra cocoa powder and they were so good. We also didn’t have the right size baking pan, but still turned out great. I did specifically buy an 8×8 pan afterwards for next time.
How do they rise? Since they have no baking powder or soda.
Already laughing at 0:06 seconds. Looks like a Tell Sell ad! Love the video. Vegan for life.
I haven’t done this recipe but last month y melted butter and chocolate like that and by glass bowl cracked:(
I ended up putting a towel between the pan and the bowl and that worked wonderfully. I hope this helps someone hehe
I have a nut allergy, so I am struggling to find a good vegan butter replacement. Any recommendations??
Aww, your family is just precious especially Dad 😉 he has a way with words for sure 😉
This video is a treat! 🙂 So cute. Thanks.
Can you make vegan dark chocolate Belgium ice cream with waffle?
Fruit ice pops with twist too
I loved your vegan pasta sauce videos.
I agree with your dad a rich dark chocolate brownie is delish 👌
I just made these and they were amazing, my family ate the entire pan in 10 minutes! Best brownie ever!
Beautiful.
Brownies look nice too!
i love brownies, this made me hungry for something chocolatey!! going to have to go home tonight and try making some vegan brownies 🙂 haha
Based off of your father's reaction I need to make those pronto. Like, today! They look so good and fudgy on screen. I can't wait to try this one out!
I may exercise a lot and only eat a whole food plant based diet that I cook myself from raw ingredients; but you're going to make me really fat. Your channel is a double edged sword
Fuck, I really wanted to be able to use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose refined garbage
