Notes for Success:
This fudge brownie recipe I am using is by far my favorite because there are no weird egg replacers needed
And the result is the most rich and decadent fudge brownie you will ever try!
However you can use your favorite brownie recipe instead or try my Brownie Box Hack here!
Coffee and chocolate are literal soulmates and believe me, you will not taste a lick of coffee!
But for those who are really against using it, you can sadly replace the coffee portion with water
In the video you will notice I made this recipe to fit into a standard loaf pan
But I have doubled the recipe so it will fit into an 8″ x 8″ pan

- Now add the hot coffee and then transfer everything to a large mixing bowl, add the vanilla extract & the sugar, whisk smooth
- Sift the flour, baking powder & salt into the chocolate batter and stir just to combine, do not over mix
- Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker crust
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes or when a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs, not raw batter
- As soon as the brownie comes out of the oven, turn the oven off & sprinkle the marshmallows over top and place back in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt
- Cool completely then prepare the ganache recipe according to the instructions on that post, cool slightly then pour over the marshmallows in the pan.
- Add crushed graham crackers to the top
- You can serve this directly out of the pan, or refrigerate it for about 1 hour so it all sets and you can then unmold it, slice and serve.

I would love to make these for my daughter’s birthday, can I use flax egg instead?
yes, but as I wrote in the blog post, I tested this recipe with the vegan egg and it came out the best. Let me know how you like it with the flax instead
Can I use 1 regular egg instead of a substitute?
Have you tried this o e GF yet (not worried about the Graham cracker part, I’ve seen gf Graham crackers.
Also have you had success making your own marshmallows? Even as a sauce?
Hi Judy yes to marshmallows CLICK HERE FOR A RECIPE
I have not tried this brownie recipe with GF flour though ~ sorry!
Thank you Gretchen for the recipe..
Hi Gretchen! I am a vegan recipe alchemist as well, and absolutely love your ideas! What about forgoing the espresso powder and using cold strong-brewed coffee in place of the cold water that is whipped with the VeganEgg?
Hi! YES that would be absolutely fine!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I was going to double the recipe and bake in an 8×8 pan. Should I cook them for the same amount of time? Thanks for your help!
Hey there! awesome you’re welcome! I noted exactly that in the notes section on the recipe, specifically if you want to bake 8X8 pan, you may have to bake a few minutes longer, but the toothpick test is a good indicator
Thank you! I should have read more carefully, but I surely appreciate your reply!
Me again…sorry. Quick question about the cocoa: it says 1/2 + 1 TB (42 grams). Is that supposed to be 1/2C + 1TB, or are the gram measurements wrong? Thanks for your help!
Hey sorry I did not get this notification!! But yes it is 1/2 CUP + 1 Tbs
thankyou for noting that I will correct it!
