Vegan Banana Pudding Brownies

The Vegan Banana Pudding Brownies are a delicious dessert option for vegans. They need 45 minutes to get ready, and it does not require much effort. We make a basic brownie layer, and then on top we place the pudding layer. The ingredients are vegan-friendly so that vegans do not have to take in guilt of eating desserts with dairy in them. Chocolate brownies and banana pudding go along very well. The ingredients that we utilize for Vegan Banana Pudding Brownies are normally present in your own kitchen. When we include the pudding layer on top of the brownies, the brownies become softer. Make this for birthdays, sweet treats, parties, or gatherings.

INGREDIENT NOTES:

BANANAS:

• We use bananas as a good alternative to eggs for moisture. These are also naturally sweet. This is the core flavor in these brownies. You can switch to applesauce if this is not available.

COCONUT SUGAR:

• We can get a good caramel taste from adding coconut sugar to this dessert. Also, softness comes with its use. You may also use cane or brown sugar.

VEGETABLE OIL:

• This can help in maintaining the softness of the brownies. Also, oil provides moisture. Sunflower or coconut oil is a good alternative.

UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:

• The chocolatey taste comes from its use. We utilize the unsweetened one for good taste and texture. Cacao powder is a substitute option for this.

PLANT MILK:

• Including plant milk in the brownie mix can make the mixture smooth. Oat, soy, or almond milk can work fine.

CORNSTARCH:

• To make the pudding layer, cornstarch can make it creamy and thick. Another option can be arrowroot powder.
