Easy Vegan Red Velvet Brownies Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Prepare the flax eggs by mixing 2 tablespoon of flax seed meal with 4 tablespoon hot water. Set aside for 2 minutes until a gel forms.
  • Use a fork to mix the flax seed meal with the melted vegan butter, sugar, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla, and cocoa powder. Add the red food coloring, starting with 2 teaspoon and adding more to reach desired red color. Add a pinch of salt if and mix in the flour. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips and transfer the batter into a greased 9x11 ceramic baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the brownies are browned around the edges.
  • While the brownies are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, vegan cream cheese, and vegan butter. Allow the brownies to cool before slicing them into about 16 brownies, and frosting them. Serve topped with sprinkles.
