Vegan Brownies with Salted Caramel Sauce
(Makes 12 Brownies + 1/2 Cup Caramel Sauce)
These unpretentious little brownies took a luxurious trip to the dark side with caramel sauce (sinful). I’ve made countless Brownies since I’ve become Vegan – fudgy ones, cake-like brownies and even tried various recipes online in the past…you name it. This brownie was just another one of my creations to add to the brownie collection. More people really should bake in my opinion. Brownies, Cookies and Cake are pretty much the easiest thing to make. Mix a few ingredients together and 10, 15, 20 minutes later you have dessert! These brownies came out light and crumbly, they were not considerably sweet either. However, the caramel sauce is sweet and provided that perfect balance for the brownie in this recipe. I kicked the brownies up another level by sprinkling course sea salt on top…oh my! Oh wait, what is this…another level of guilt? Of course, so I added Ice cream to boot. I used So Delicious Vanilla Ice cream.
Tip: Warm the brownie…Cold Ice cream on a warm brownie with Caramel sauce Mmm. All this equals = Divinity plus a few mouthgasms. I’ll quote my husband after his first bite “Oh my goodness…Oh my goodness…you need to go to confession after that!” 🙂
Your taste buds will dance and salivary glands will certainly be stimulated to the point of climax at least with the trifecta anyway. Enjoy! 🙂

These look absolutely amazing I have to try these some day
Thank you! I can’t wait for you to try. 🙂
I can’t wait to try this! I love to bake and vegan baking is pretty fun 🙂 I am interested in finding refined sugar and oil free recipes to try out too. This looks divine!
Thank you so much, can’t wait for you to try! I have some raw recipes too with dates and/or agave nectar added, just some more ideas of natural sweetners.
OMG, looks amazing!! I’m crazy about brownies and cakes ˆˆ
Thank you! Can’t wait for you to try. 🙂
Hey there, these look absolutely delicious! However I live in Spain and they don’t actually sell Cup Earth Balance (Vegan Butter)? Is there an alternative? Thanks 🙂
Hi Jane! Earth balance is a vegan butter alternative. In this recipe you can certainly substitute the ‘vegan butter’ with Coconut oil or even simply Canola oil. I have another brownie recipe here that uses only oil. The Earth Balance was only optional. Also, the caramel sauce can be made without it as well.
Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Thanks for your time! Will let you know how it goes!
No problem at all. Happy to help. 🙂
These look amazing!!
I’ve really struggled to make a good dairy free caramel. My last attempt ended up like the Scottish delicacy, tablet. I’ll have to try your version.
I hope my version turns out great for you! Best of luck, thanks for stopping by!
