Here’s a decadent recipe for Eggless Salted Caramel Brownies that you can whip up for a rich and gooey treat:

Ingredients

For the Brownies:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond or soy milk)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup yogurt (or a non-dairy yogurt alternative)

For the Salted Caramel:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or a non-dairy cream alternative)
• 1 tsp sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out easily.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Stir in the yogurt until well combined.
4. Make the Brownie Batter:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.
5. Prepare the Salted Caramel:
   • In a medium saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula to prevent burning. Once the sugar is melted and turns a golden amber color, add the butter and stir until melted.
   • Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring (the mixture will bubble up violently, so be careful). Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute.
   • Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp of sea salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
6. Assemble the Brownies:
   • Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
   • Drizzle about half of the salted caramel over the batter.
   • Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer and smooth the top. Drizzle with the remaining caramel.
7. Bake:
   • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
   • Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with a little more sea salt.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least an hour before lifting out and cutting into squares.
   • Serve and enjoy your gooey salted caramel brownies!
