Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (like avocado or sunflower)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2-3 tbsp dairy-free milk (as needed for texture)
  • Optional: dairy-free chocolate chips
  • Optional: flaky salt for top

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat and prep

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or 9x13 pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2
    Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3
    Mix wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cane sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla until glossy.

  4. 4
    Combine the batter

    Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir until thick and smooth. Add a splash of dairy-free milk only if the batter is too stiff.

  5. 5
    Spread and bake

    Spread batter thinly on the parchment using an offset spatula, about 1/4-inch thick, aiming for a sheet pan-style slab. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are set and the top is crackly. Optionally, halfway through baking, press a few chocolate chips or flaky salt on top.

  6. 6
    Cool and slice

    Cool completely, then slice into thin sticks, triangles, or bite-sized squares.
