This vegan lemon brownie is made from two layers. The first brownie layer is the original. In the second, instead of cacao, I put lemon juice and zest. The combination of the two tastes is magical. The brownie has a soft, damp texture.

It turned out to be very tasty. This dessert is perfect for breakfast and snack. Brownie gets ready quickly. This requires a few common ingredients.

Ingredients for Vegan Lemon Brownie

Brownie has two layers. The composition in both is almost the same. Add juice and zest to the lemon layer instead of cacao. You can merge layers if you want. But the two-layer brownie looks more interesting.

So the ingredients.

Whole wheat flour is the base of brownies. If you don’t like gluten, replace it with oatmeal.
Almond flour is the second flour component. It gives the brownie a nutty flavor and pleasant texture. I make almond flour myself. I grind the nuts in a coffee grinder. Almonds without husks.
Unsweetened oat milk is the liquid in the recipe. If there is no plant-based milk, take water.
Refined olive oil complements the liquid ingredients. It can be replaced with any vegetable oil.
We use coconut sugar for the sweetness of the brownie. Choose the sweetener you like.
You can’t do brownie without cacao. I have alkalized cacao in my recipe. It is richer in baked goods.
Add lemon zest and juice to the citrus layer.
A pinch of salt will enhance the brownie flavor.

The ingredients are collected. Let’s start making vegan brownies.

How to make lemon brownie

First, turn on the oven at 180 ° C / 355 ° F. And immediately prepare a baking dish. I have a square 20×20 cm shape without a bottom. I made the bottom for the form from foil and parchment. Press the foil against the walls of the mold.

Now let’s start making brownies.

Cooking the first brownie layer

In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour with almond flour, coconut sugar, cacao and salt. Add oat milk and refined olive oil to the flour mixture. Then mix the whole mass until smooth.

Put the finished dough into a mold. We level it with a silicone spatula. We leave the form with the dough on the table and proceed to the lemon layer.

Making the lemon brownie layer

The preparation of the lemon layer is almost the same as the previous process. Mix whole grain and almond flour with coconut sugar. We do not lay down cacao. Add oat milk, refined olive oil, zest and lemon juice to the dry ingredients. Mix everything well.

Now the most important process awaits us. Place the lemon layer in the mold so that it does not mix with the first layer. I did it with a pastry bag. Distribute the dough in the mold. And I leveled the top with a silicone spatula. To prevent the dough from sticking to the spatula, moisten it with water. Top with brownie garnished with chocolate pieces and zest.

Brownie baked goods

Bake brownies for 30 – 35 minutes. We check the readiness of the dessert with a toothpick. There should be some dough on it. The brownie should be damp inside. If you dry it completely, the brownie will be hard.

We take out the finished brown from the oven and draw it along the walls with a knife. We leave on the table for 15 minutes. After that, take out the brownie from the mold. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature.

When the lemon brownie has cooled, cut it into pieces. Store brownies in a film or plastic container at room temperature for up to three days. In the refrigerator for up to a week. Brownies keep well in the freezer.

As you can see, making a vegan lemon brownie is very easy. Make this delicious dessert and write your comments.
