Brownies are a popular dessert, loved in many corners of the world. Simplified over time, the recipe we will explore today is one of the most accessible. Its origins are shadowed by diverse culinary traditions, but the idea of making a moist and rich chocolate dessert with minimal ingredients has captivated sweet lovers for generations. This vegan version allows you to enjoy the intense flavor of chocolate without using eggs or dairy, making it an ideal choice for anyone following a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Necessary ingredients

- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup hot water
- 3/4 cup oil (preferably sunflower or canola)
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons jam (ideally sour cherry, but you can use any flavor you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Nuts (optional, roughly chopped)
- Powdered sugar for decoration

Step by step - Preparing the brownies

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure you have everything at hand to make the cooking process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

2. Mixing the wet ingredients
In a large bowl, combine hot water, sugar, and oil. Mix well with a spatula or whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. This is a crucial step, as well-dissolved sugar will contribute to the moist texture of the brownies.

3. Adding the jam
Add your preferred jam to the water and sugar mixture. Here you can use sour cherry, raspberry, peach, or even a combination. This will not only add flavor but also moisture to your dessert.

4. Incorporating the dry ingredients
In another bowl, mix the flour with cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. These dry ingredients will be incorporated into the wet mixture, ensuring an even distribution of flavor and texture.

5. Combining the mixtures
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet one. Use a spatula to gently mix, being careful not to overmix – this can lead to a dense brownie. Finally, add the vanilla and rum extracts.

6. Adding nuts (optional)
If desired, add the chopped nuts to the mixture. Nuts add a crunchy texture and a pleasant contrast to the moist brownie.

7. Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a baking pan with oil or line it with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and level the surface. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. You can check if they are done using a simple toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the brownies are baked!

8. Cooling and serving
Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. When fully cooled, dust powdered sugar on top for an elegant look.

Serving suggestions

Vegan brownies pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. You can also serve them with vegan ice cream for a temperature contrast, or with a berry sauce for an extra burst of flavor. They can be enjoyed both as a dessert and as a snack throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions
