Make Brownies Dairy Free for a Healthy Version
This dairy free brownie recipe is a fantastic take on the classic without all the dairy. I’m all about making recipes plant-based and dairy free when I can. Dairy-free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. You can achieve total richness and creaminess with some simple swaps. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family.
I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.
What’s In These Dairy Free Brownies?
I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
- All Purpose Flour: I use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish. If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well.
- Cacao Powder: this unsweetened cacao powder is a healthy and good-for-you addition to this sauce. Raw Cacao powder is loaded with antioxidants and has tons of healthy benefits. Make sure you use a raw cacao powder and not sweetened baking cocoa… it makes a huge difference.
- Granulated Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, I recommend organic sugar for cooking and baking.
- Salt
- Eggs – We try to get cage free / free range eggs when we can. There isn’t any nutritional difference, but I always try to support animal welfare when I can!
- Vegetable Oil
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this recipe an #extra boost.
Make Ahead Brownies Without Milk or Butter
This brownies with no butter or milk recipe is a fantastic and simple recipe to make ahead for company, a girl’s night, book club, or just for an amazing Friday on the couch. Great for a busy weeknight, for entertaining, or just for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking. I like to prep one (or a few) of these ahead of time, and freeze some for later.
Having ready cooked treats in the fridge or freezer is a great way to enjoy home cooked snacks when you don’t have time in the kitchen. Check out all my make ahead meals on The Herbeevore for some inspiration to help you prep, keep, heat, and heat!
How Do I Make Brownies without Butter or Milk?
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract and mix well to combine. Add walnuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish and place in a center rack of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked fully through. To test, stick a toothpick into the center of the brownies, and if it comes out clean the brownies are fully cooked.
- Allow the brownies to cool for at least 10 minutes, and enjoy!
