Dairy Free Brownies [Fudgy Vegan Brownies]

These Dairy Free Brownies are every chocolate lover’s dream come true! They are supremely moist, chewy, super fudgy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Your family and friends will find themselves polishing every crumb off the plate, vegan or not! 

Ingredients for Dairy Free Brownies

The ingredients for these fudgy vegan brownies are pretty conventional with a handful of additions to make them vegan-worthy.  

How to Make Dairy Free Brownies?

You will never need to look at a ready-made brownie mix again after preparing these fudgy brownies from scratch.  Here’s how to put them together.

Step 5: Once baked, let it cool. This can be devoured straight from the oven, or refrigerated overnight (or for at least 4 hours) before serving.

Toni’s Recipe Tips when Making Vegan Fudgy Brownies

• Don’t overmix the ingredients. For all baked items, this is a good policy. Aerating the recipe by overmixing the dry and wet ingredients results in cakey brownies.
• Sift the dry ingredients. To make a clump-free batter mixture, sift the cocoa powder before mixing it with the wet ingredients.
• Use the highest-quality vegan chocolate you can get at a reasonable price. Since plant-based chocolate is the main ingredient in brownies, it’s critical to use the best vegan chocolate you can find and afford.
• Use parchment paper to line your baking pan. This makes removing the baked brownies from the pan and slicing them much easier. It also eliminates the need to oil the pan. These brownies are rich and luscious without the need for any additional oil or vegan butter.
• Don’t start slicing brownies too soon. Slicing the brownies too soon can turn them into a sticky lava cake. Remember that brownies continue to cook even while resting. Also, cutting a warm brownie can cause it to fall apart. Let it cool down before slicing.
• Allow extra fudgy brownies to firm up in the fridge for an hour or two after they’ve cooled. This is the way to go if you enjoy incredibly thick, dense brownies.
• Don’t overbake the brownies. A toothpick comes in handy here.  If you poke it in the brownies and it comes out with uncooked batter, leave it for a few more minutes.  On the other hand, if you pull the toothpicks out with only a little vegan chocolate/gooeyness on them, your brownies are ready.

Add-ins for Fudgy Vegan Brownies

• Nuts: Walnuts, pecans, cashews, and a variety of other nuts can be sprinkled on top. The brownie’s richness is balanced by the subtle saltiness of the nuts. 
• Candy: Make these dairy free brownies a little more festive for the upcoming holidays by adding broken vegan candy cane pieces or sprinkles.

Serving Suggestions for Fudgy Vegan Brownies

These dairy free brownies are so rich and flavorful, they can be enjoyed as is. But consider leveling-up the experience with the following:

• Whipped Cream: Cut the decadent fudgy chocolate brownies with a heaping scoop of this easy vegan whipped cream
• Ice Cream: Serve dairy free brownies a la mode, with your favorite vegan ice cream, like this banana ice cream, or even a coffee milkshake.
• Sauce: Drizzle with a generous dose of this caramel date sauce, or easy strawberry glaze.
• More Brownies: Yes, really! Make a “brownie bar” with a variety of brownies and toppings, for your next party or hang out. It’ll be a hit! I recommend Biscoff brownies, Strawberry brownies, Pumpkin brownies, and Sweet potato brownies.
• A Yummy Drink: Quench your thirst and enjoy a brownie with a delicious drink, whether hot like a Biscoff latte, Pumpkin spice latte, or cold like fresh cashew milk or pecan milk.

Storage Instructions for Dairy Free Brownies

Room temperature: Place any leftover fudgy vegan brownies in an airtight container and keep them on the counter for up to 5 days at room temperature. 

Fridge: These dairy free brownies are best when enjoyed chilled and can stay fresh in the fridge for 8-10 days. No need to reheat them. However, if you want to soften them a bit,  you can always warm them up in the microwave. 

Freezer: If you made a huge batch and are saving them up for future dessert nights, go ahead and freeze them. Place in an airtight container, layer with a piece of parchment paper and store it for up to 3 months. Allow brownies to defrost at room temperature before eating them. If unsliced, wrap the entire block of brownies in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
