Indulge in these decadent vegan brownies swirled with rich dulce de leche for a delightful treat that's both indulgent and cruelty-free.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup vegan dulce de leche

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C

Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, then drizzle half of the vegan dulce de leche over the batter

Repeat with the remaining batter and dulce de leche

Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the dulce de leche into the batter to create a marbled effect

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving
