How to Make Dairy Free Brownies
I found this original coconut oil brownie recipe on Nora Cooks. She has fantastic vegan recipes! I love how there was no need for flax eggs, applesauce, or another egg replacer. Plus, they're quick and easy!Simply preheat your oven, melt coconut oil with vegan chocolate chips, mix in sugar, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then bake for about 30 minutes.
Vegan Brownie Recipe
Using coconut oil is great for vegan and dairy-free desserts because it makes treats irresistibly soft and chewy! These eggless brownies can be easily altered for vegan and/or gluten-free diets.- To make vegan brownies: Use vegan-friendly sugar. If you don't have refined coconut oil, replace with vegan butter
- To make gluten-free brownies: Use your favorite gluten-free flour

Katey
Can I use a gluten free flour?
Jenna Urben
Hi Katey! I haven't tested that yet, but I bet a 1-to-1 gluten free flour (like bob's red mill or king arthur flour) would work just great.

I made this recipe for my colleagues at my new job and they loved them! Definitely earned some brownie points (pun intended)!
Thanks so much for the recipe, I'll definitely be making them again. Must admit being from the UK, I struggled a bit with converting the cups into grams/ml, but they turned out fantastic! I swapped the coconut oil for plant based butter and used slightly less chocolate and I think next time I make them I'll add some orange essence for a nice chocolate orange flavour.
Jenna Urben
Thanks so much for your kind review, Georgia! I'm glad you earned some brownie points 😉 Adding orange essence sounds lovely

Heather
I made these the other night. The flavor was great but it was just a pan of oily goo. Nothing ever set up. I followed the recipe exactly. Not sure what went wrong.
Jenna Urben
I'm sorry to hear that, Heather! I'll often pop these in the fridge to help firm up. The coconut oil in these makes them quite oily, so measuring veryyyy accurately is key. Hope that helps.
Catherine
Would vegan margarine work in place of the coconut oil?
Jenna Urben
I have not tried melted margarine as a substitute. It should work, just be sure to measure precisely!
