These brownies are so decadent, chocolatey and fudgy. The strawberries add an amazing balance to the intense chocolate.

Husband ranked these OMG dedadent and amazing and make them every week!
You can make them without the strawberries or add other berries of choice. Try these decadent gluten free brownies and serve with whipped coconut cream or vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients for Vegan Strawberry Brownies
- Flaxmeal mixed with water from the binding for these brownies. You an also use chia seed meal.
- A combination of maple syrup and sugar of choice adds sweetness and extra moisture.
- Vanilla extract for flavor. You can omit the extract if you like
- baking soda adds a bit of leavening.
- Almond flour is the main dry ingredient along with optional 1 tbsp tapioca starch which provides binding and hold.
- Almond Butter or Cashew butter adds volume.
- cocoa powder and chocolate chunks or chips help with the intense chocolatey flavor.
- Strawberries on top are a fantastic combination with the chocolate.
- Nut-free: I haven’t tried these without nuts. They might work with 2/3 cup sunflower seed butter and regular flour instead of almond flour. Or try my Grainfree Chickpea Brownies with sunbutter.
How to make Strawberry Brownies with Step Pictures
Mix flax meal with water in a large bowl set aside. Assemble the rest of the ingredients. Chop up the chocolate roughly if using bar or chunks. Preheat the oven to 350 deg F(180 C).
Add the maple, vanilla, sugar to the bowl and mix well to combine the sugar.
Mix in almond flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and tapioca starch if using, until well combined.
Mix in the almond or cashew butter until well combined. Add 1 tbsp hot water and mix in.
Fold in half the chocolate. Fold in some chopped strawberries if you like more strawberry distribution. I like the strawberries only on top.
Immediately Transfer the batter to a lined 8 inch in brownie pan, as the batter keeps thickening as it sits. Spread using a spatula. The batter will be thick so spreading will take a few seconds. The thickness of the batter will be thin as the brownies rise and then fall slightly and result in a fudgy brownies with chewy edges. If you bake in a smaller pan for thick brownies, they will be softer and a bit cakey.
Add strawberry slices on top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate.
Bake at 350 for 23 to 25 mins. Let cool for 20 mins before removing from the pan. Then slice and serve with whipped coconut cream or vegan ice cream of choice.

Soo amazing! And so simple. I will definitely be making again. Thank you so much for all the great recipes, especially the oil-free ones. 🙂
Yay
Delicious!
The flax meal should be mixed with the 1/4 cup water plus 1 tbsp water? Or only 1/4 cup water and the additional 1 tbsp is to be mixed later with the nut butter in step 4?
Yes mix in 1/4 cup and add the 1 tbsp later
Hi, can I substitute the flaxmeal with something else? I usually don’t use it and every time I bought it, I just used it for one recipe and then had to throw it out because I forgot about it and never used the rest.
Omit it. You can add in 1 Tbsp more starch instead
Thank you! I’ll try it! 😊
