These Dairy Free Fudgy Brownies are rich, chocolaty, and wonderfully moist, made without any milk or butter. Incorporating ripe banana and dairy-free chocolate chips, they deliver deep chocolate flavor with a tender, fudgy texture. Perfectly sweetened and topped with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, these brownies offer a delicious plant-based treat that pairs beautifully with a glass of almond milk.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 16 brownies

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips (roughly 3/4 cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder
  • ⅓ cup Coconut Oil
  • 1 Banana (mashed)
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt (Flakes)
  • 2 Eggs (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • Flaky Sea Salt (to sprinkle on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Coconut Oil: Using a double boiler setup (a saucepan with a few inches of simmering water topped with a heatproof glass bowl), melt together the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth.
  3. Add Cocoa Powder and Banana: Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the dark chocolate cocoa powder and mashed banana. Mix until the batter is as smooth as possible, accounting for small banana chunks.
  4. Combine Sugar, Salt, and Vanilla: Whisk in the granulated sugar, sea salt flakes, and vanilla extract until well incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
  5. Add Eggs: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next.
  6. Fold in Flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined to avoid overmixing and keep the brownies tender.
  7. Transfer and Add Topping: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt.
  8. Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing into 16 squares. Enjoy with a glass of almond milk for the best experience.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs help the batter mix more smoothly and contribute to even baking.
  • Using parchment paper makes it easy to lift the brownies out of the pan for clean slicing.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a fudgy and moist texture.
  • The banana adds natural sweetness and moisture, replacing traditional butter.
  • For an extra chocolatey brownie, use high-quality dark chocolate chips.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
