Notes

• Using maple syrup keeps this brownie vegan; substitute honey if veganism is not a requirement.
• You can substitute soy milk with any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
• For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate chunks and chocolate almond butter to maximize rich flavor.
• Be careful not to overbake; brownies are done when the center is set but still moist.
• Storing brownies in an airtight container at room temperature keeps them fresh for up to 3 days; refrigerate for longer storage.
• Ground flaxseed meal acts as an egg replacer adding fiber and omega-3 fats.
