I made this Vegan Almond Joy Brownies for my aunt’s garden party last month. The coconut and chocolate made them fudgy, and my coworker asked for more.
Decadent Vegan Almond Joy Brownies
These almond joy brownies are packed with rich cocoa and topped with a coconut-almond filling, bringing the beloved candy bar flavor into a vegan-friendly dessert. The recipe is easy to follow and takes about 30 minutes to prepare, making it perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (or any nut butter)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup oat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- Extra chocolate for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the oat flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Add Coconut and Almonds: Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped almonds into the brownie batter.
- Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

I store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to five days. The stay fudgy, and I let brownies come to room temperature before serving.
