Rich, fudgy dairy free brownies with a classic chewy texture and crackly top, made easily with pantry staples and no butter or milk.

Ingredients

¾ cup coconut oil, melted (or avocado oil)

1 ¼ cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs, room temperature

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt (plus more for topping, optional)

½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped dairy-free chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract on low speed for about 1 minute until combined.
  3. Add one egg and mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the second egg and mix for another 2–3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  6. Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips with a spatula.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for about 30–35 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle lightly with salt if desired, and let cool in the pan for 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy.

Avocado oil can be used for a more neutral flavor.

Add a pinch of espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.

Let brownies cool before slicing for clean edges.
