Chocolate Fudge Brownies with Homemade Strawberry Jam
Tis the season for CHOCOLATE! So today I’m sharing exactly that. Say hello to my ultra lush and decadent Chocolate Fudge Brownies with Homemade Strawberry Jam.
These bad boy brownies are completely vegan and gluten-free, although you’d never guess it taking a bite. They are ultra fudgy and rich, and are totally going to have all you “mmmmm-ing” from the first to last bite. In fact, I know these fudgy vegan brownies are a hit because I made a batch for my dad and husband, while my dad was visiting us, and they both scarfed down the entire lot.
To give you some context, my husband isn’t a big desserts guy, but nevertheless he ate three in one sitting. On the other hand my dad loves sweet treats (he married my mother who is British, code for master baker). Growing up we were never on shortage for homemade baked goods. So when he scarfed down multiple brownies down in delight I was pretty proud of myself. Suffice to say, if these brownies can compete with my mum’s baking, then I must have done something right.
What I love about these vegan brownies is their texture. They are nicely crisp on the top, while the inside is moist and fudgy. In fact, the inside is oozing with chopped chocolate chunks making for a oozy gooey bite of rich chocolate every time. But don’t doubt for a second that the chocolate celebration stops there, I’ve also added a whole cup of cocoa powder to the mixture to make them ultra rich and chocolatey. Absolute heaven!
These brownies are nothing short of magic. But the homemade strawberry jam to top really takes them to the next level. After all, is there any better combo than chocolate and strawberries? I think not. And I am totally in love with this homemade strawberry jam! The recipe is as easy at they come for a homemade jam. Simply combine strawberries, chia seeds, agave and vanilla. Simmer in a saucepan until thick and gooey and you’re looking at heaven in a jar. It’s so versatile too! I’ve used it to top on toast, and in my Overnight Bircher Bowls with PB and Jam.
If you’re looking to indulge this season than these vegan Chocolate Fudge Brownies with Homemade Strawberry Jam were made for you. They make for an irresistable sweet treat for a holiday gathering, or any occasion for that matter. Because what’s a party without chocolate?

- 1 tsp baking powder

- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared square pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle with more chocolate chips to top.
- Bake the brownies until the edges are firm and a toothpick inserted into the brownie comes out clean, 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then lift the brownies from the baking pan and cool completely on a baking rack before cutting.
- Cut the brownies into squares and enjoy!
