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

Curious do you have a break down of the nutrition? Thank you very good 😊

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!
Sabrina
Did anyone else have trouble with their brownies crumbling? They were somewhat chewy but didn’t hold together well when I tried to cut them into squares. I did use brown sugar instead of regular. Would that have made the difference?
Jenna | The Urben Life
Hi Sabrina! I'm so sorry your brownies turned out crumbly. Yes, using brown sugar instead of white sugar will change the texture.
A few tips I have for these specifically is to measure the oil very carefully, don't over mix or over bake, and let these brownies cool completely before slicing. Sometimes I'll even pop them in the fridge to help firm up.
Hope this helps 🙂
Patty
My oven at home doesn’t bake properly either, so I do what you did. I think if you take them out even if gooey and let then set on counter until cool, they will much better. I also have a tendency to overtake. I’m going to sub out dairy free marg for the coconut oil.
Jenna | The Urben Life
Yes, great tips Patty!
Auralie
These sound wonderful! Can I sub veg oil or dairy free butter? We have a coconut allergy
Jenna | The Urben Life
Thanks so much, Auralie! Yes 🙂 Melted dairy-free butter should work just fine as a replacement
Auralie
Thank you so much! They were a hit. One of the best brownie recipe for allergies.

Can we use normal vegetable oil?
Jenna Urben
Yes! However, there might be slight difference in texture and flavor.
