material


- coconut oil – Instead of using dairy butter in this vegan brookie recipe, you’ll use coconut oil. I like to use coconut oil over vegan butter because it’s less processed, but it can give off a bit of a coconut flavor, so keep that in mind!
- brown sugar – Every classic chocolate chip cookie needs brown sugar, so we had to include it in this chocolate chip cookie base.
- sugarcane – I personally like to bake with cane sugar, but any type of dry “white” sugar should work in this recipe.
- flour – When it comes to these vegan brownies, all-purpose flour is my favorite flour to use in both vegan chocolate chip cookies and vegan brownies. Using the same dough for both layers makes these brownies super easy.
- Non-dairy milk – Cow’s milk substitute in baking is easy. Just use your favorite non-dairy milk! I almost always have soy milk, homemade almond milk, or homemade oat milk on hand and all work great in this brookie recipe.
- Non-dairy chocolate chips – Not many people know this, but vegan chocolate chips are really easy to find. Most dark chocolate bars and dark chocolate chips are vegan, as they do not contain milk or milk powder. If you want to make sure your chocolate chips are vegan, be sure to check the label.
- Cocoa powder – You will use a mixture of cocoa powder and melted chocolate to make a rich brownie topping. Any cocoa powder you have on hand should work!
- Neutral oil – Any neutral, pourable oil should work in brownie recipes. Vegetable, light olive oil or avocado oil should all work.

Substitutions and Alterations
🔀 coconut oil – I haven’t tried it personally, but I think vegan butter would work better instead of coconut oil.
🔀 flour – To make these vegan brownies gluten-free, you can use an all-purpose gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
How to Make Vegan Brookies

Step 1: Melt the coconut oil in a sauce pan. Add the brown sugar, milk and vanilla and beat until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and then add to the sauce pan. Mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 2: Press the chocolate chip cookie batter evenly into your prepared 8×8 inch pan and set aside.

Step 3: For the brownies, melt ¾ cup chocolate chips. Allow them to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the soy milk, oil and melted chocolate to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 4: Spread the brownie batter evenly over the chocolate chip cookie base.

Step 5: Bake the brookies for about 27-33 minutes. (See “Hints” below for tips on what baking time is best for you.)

Step 6: After removing the brookies from the oven, let them cool completely before removing from the pan and cutting into 16 squares.
Hint: I find it hard to tell if the brownies were really cooked, so I usually bake on the longer end of the time spectrum. If you like super gooey brownies, you can remove them after about 27 minutes, but you’ll want to let them cool completely before slicing them into squares.

Expert tips
👉🏻 When melting chocolate chips for brownies, you can melt slowly in the microwave in 30 second intervals or use a double boiler.
👉🏻 To remove these brownies easily, line your baking pan with parchment paper. I like to just wet my parchment paper, crumple it up and then peel it off before pressing it into my pan. This helps keep the paper in place more easily.
storage
If you have any of these vegan brookies left over (which I doubt you will), simply store them in an airtight container on the counter for 1-2 days.
If you don’t think you’ll eat them quickly, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Coconut oil and chocolate harden when cold, so they will harden the longer they stay in the fridge.
Recipe FAQs
Brookies are the perfect dessert that combines both brownies and cookies. The base of this double layer bar is a chewy, chocolate chip cookie. Then you pour the brownie batter over the cookie dough. All baking in the oven and voila! Brookies!
This decadent, 2-layer dessert is called a “brookie” because it combines brownies and cookies in one delicious package. The base of these bars is a chocolate chip cookie. The top layer is a brownie. Hence the name, Brookie!
It is unclear who invented the popular brookie dessert. It appeared on Shark Tank as a company like Milk + Brookies trying to get an investor. Brookies are also available in some popular fast food chains.
