How is the vegan caramel sauce prepared for these brownies?

The caramel is made by heating brown sugar and vegan butter, then stirring in coconut milk and vanilla until it bubbles and thickens into a unified sauce.

What ingredients contribute to the fudgy texture of these brownies?

The brownies achieve their fudgy texture through the use of pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, and a combination of flour and cornstarch in the batter.

What is the best way to layer the caramel within the brownie batter?

Pour half the brownie batter into the pan, sprinkle with chocolate chips, then carefully pour the caramel sauce over the chips before adding the remaining brownie batter on top.

Can I substitute the canned coconut milk in the caramel recipe?

The recipe specifically calls for canned coconut milk in the caramel, which is crucial for achieving its creamy consistency and rich flavor, so substitutions are not recommended.

How long should I let the Caramel Fudge Brownies cool before cutting?

Allow the brownies to cool for 15-20 minutes after baking before cutting them into 9 slices to ensure they set properly.

These brownies are rich. Like Beyonce and Jay-Z rich. Like you’ll need a glass of water rich. Like you’ll need a couple scoops of dairy-free ice cream rich (but when do you not?). My main advice for making perfect fudgey brownies is to under bake them. I know it sounds... Read More

How to Prepare Caramel Fudge Brownies [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease and line an 8×8 baking pan.
Make the caramel: Heat the brown sugar and margarine in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir frequently. Allow the mixture to bubble for a minute or two – by this point it should look like one (not two separate) components. Lift the pan away from the heat and pour the coconut milk in. Return to the heat and stir for about a minute straight. When everything is all mixed together, allow the mixture to bubble again. Allow it to cook for another 4-5 minutes and stir occasionally. Remove it from the heat, wait for it to stop bubbling and add the vanilla and pinch of salt. Set aside while you make the brownie batter.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl mix together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, coconut oil, sugar and vanilla. Stir really well.
Use a fine mesh strainer to sift the dry ingredients into the bowl with the pumpkin mixture. Stir until everything is just combined.
Pour half of the brownie mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of chocolate chips on top. Pour the caramel sauce on the chocolate chips. Carefully add the rest of the brownie batter on top of the caramel sauce. It will be difficult to spread due to the caramel sauce being there. It’s okay if it’s not perfectly even, but use your hands to spread it out the best you can.
Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top and bake for 25 minutes.
Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes and cut into 9 slices.
