Delicious ooey gooey brownies topped with an equally yummy cookie dough layer! These vegan cookie dough brownies are a must try!

This recipe is slightly more difficult compared to my usual 4 or 5 ingredient recipes, but the result is so worth the extra effort! It’s still really easy, you just need to create 2 separate batters, one for the brownie layer and another for the cookie dough!

They’re made using healthier ingredients like oats, almonds, flaxseed and almond butter! I did use brown sugar to sweeten, but a little sugar here and there is ok as long as you don’t over do it.

Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies

Makes – 8

Ingredients

For the brownie layer
50g (1/4 cup) ground almonds
55g (1/4 cup) oat flour – use gluten-free oats if allergic/intolerant
2 tbsp cocoa
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 flax egg – 1 tbsp milled flaxseed + 3 tbsp water
6 tbsp milk of choice
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 tbsp almond or peanut butter

For the cookie dough layer
50g (1/4 cup) ground almonds
55g (1/4 cup) oat flour – use gluten-free oats if allergic/intolerant
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 flax egg – 1 tbsp milled flaxseed + 3 tbsp water
2.5 tbsp oil
2.5 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp milk of choice
2 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Method

Preheat your oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ 350F.
First prepare the flax eggs – add 1 tbsp milled flaxseed each into 2 small bowls, then add 3 tbsp water into each and leave for 15 minutes to set. You’ll need 1 flax egg for the brownies layer and one for the cookie dough layer.
In a large bowl, mix together all the brownie layer ingredients, then transfer into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. I used a 22×12 cm loaf tin.
In another bowl, mix together all the cookie dough layer ingredients (apart from the chocolate chips). Pour this mixture on top of the brownie layer then top with the chocolate chips.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Leave to cool completely before slicing into 8 slices.
Enjoy!
