Looking down on several dairy free brownies and chunks of chocolate

I am a firm believer that you shouldn’t have to miss out on the best things in life just because of intolerances. So being dairy free shouldn’t hold you back from enjoying delicious fudgy brownies and with this recipe, you don’t have to miss out on anything!

Ingredients for Dairy Free Brownies

VEgan Butter. I used Country Crock Avocado Oil Plant Butter, but you can use whatever vegan butter you prefer.
Brown Sugar. Brown sugar adds a softer texture to the finished product.
Eggs. It will be easier to incorporate the eggs into the batter if they are room temperature.
Vanilla Extract. Vanilla is a must in baked goods just like salt. Real vanilla adds a better flavor than imitation vanilla.
All-purpose Flour. Measuring the flour correctly is very important. I suggest weighing your flour out (I use this scale). If you want to use a measuring cup, make sure you spoon the flour into the cup and level it off with a knife. Don’t use the cup to scoop directly from the flour.
Cocoa Powder.
Salt. Salt is a must in baked goods. It will help to balance out the sweetness and improve the overall flavor.
Chocolate. I prefer semi-sweet chocolate, but you can use whatever you prefer. If you’re wanting puddles of chocolate chop up a chocolate bar instead of using chocolate chips.

How to make Dairy Free Brownies

STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray an 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and then lay thick strips of parchment paper across the bottom of the pan in a cross shape.

STEP 2: In a medium bowl mix with a hand mixer combine the melted vegan butter and brown sugar. When fully combined add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until fully combined and light in color.
