VEGAN CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIE PIE.

Need I say more?

I’m just going to get straight into things today because we’re basically making a MASSIVE gooey, rich brownie in a pie dish. I’ve never been so excited for thanksgiving in my life.

I think it goes without saying, if you aren’t a chocoholic, maybe try this maple apple pecan pie for your thanksgiving dessert table instead. Or here’s a list of 10 vegan pies for the big day. But you guys know, chocolate basically runs through my veins. Last year I shared this dreamy chocolate pudding pie, which is one of my favorite recipes of ALL TIME.

Even though that pudding pie is absolutely divine, this year I had to have my thanksgiving chocolate fix but I wanted to change it up. So, I basically put my classic brownie batter into my go to chewy, cookie-like pie crust, and this vegan chocolate fudge brownie pie was born.

Let’s make some pie!!!

Ingredients for vegan chocolate fudge brownie pie

• Almond flour: almond flour gives the pie crust it’s slightly nutty flavor and cookie-like texture.
• Rolled oats: you’ll blend the oats into flour, which helps to hold the pie crust together and gives it a bit of chew. Some will also go into the filling to help it hold together.
• Date sugar: date sugar gives the pie crust natural, fruit sweetness.
• Ground flaxseed: you’ll make flax eggs by putting the ground flax in a bowl with water in the fridge for 20 minutes, until it gels up a bit. This helps hold the pie crust together and provides some great nutrition, too.
• Chickpeas: drained and rinsed canned chickpeas give the pie filling its rich, super gooey texture.
• Nondairy milk: a bit of nondairy milk brings the pie filling together. I use unsweetened almond milk for neutral flavor, but any nondairy milk should work.
• Medjool dates: dates give the filling more gooey texture and lots of natural, fruit sweetness.
• Cocoa powder: cocoa brings all the rich chocolate flavor.
• Vegan dark chocolate chips: I love the Lily’s stevia-sweetened chips, but use any vegan chocolate chips you like!

Tips for making vegan chocolate fudge brownie pie

• Measure out the oats first, then blend into flour. I always list the amount of oats used BEFORE they’re blended for flour. So in this case, you’ll measure out 1 cup of whole, rolled oats, then put that 1 cup into your blender to make flour.
• At first, the crust will look too dry to mix. When you first combine all the crust ingredients, it will look like there’s hardly any moisture compared to all the dry ingredients, but just knead and press it together with your hands, and it’ll come together into a thick dough.
• Be patient when pressing into the pan. Pressing the crust into the pan evenly will take a few minutes, so just be patient! I find it’s easiest to plop the dough ball into the pan, tear some off to use later for the sides, and start by pressing the dough evenly along the bottom of the pan with clean hands, then going back and pressing the remaining dough up the sides for the edges of the pie.
• Use a glass pie pan. I use a glass pie pan, and the almond flour has some natural oil, so I didn’t find I needed to spray/line the pan, but if you’re using a different type of pan you may need to so that you can get it out easily after baking.
• Don’t forget to poke some holes before baking. Once the crust is in the pan, poke some holes in the bottom with a fork. The holes are to help the bottom of the crust from puffing up in the oven.
• Let it cool completely. Make sure to let the pie cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing. It’s pretty soft and gooey, so allowing it to cool will make it easier to get clean slices.
• Make it fun and fancy to serve. Add more chocolate chips, a bit of vegan coconut whip or even some vegan ice cream for more holiday decadence.

This vegan chocolate fudge brownie pie is legit like eating gooey, rich brownie batter in pie form. It’s so sweet, decadent, fudgy, and full of allllll the chocolate flavor you could possibly want. Chocolate seriously doesn’t get enough love on thanksgiving, so from now on I’ll be changing that with this pie every year until the end of time.

Also I’m just going to say it…I don’t care about any savory food on thanksgiving when this is waiting for me at dessert.
