What you need to make these gluten free & dairy free brownies…
These deliciously fudgy brownies are undetectably gluten free and dairy free! They are also refined sugar free … making them super allergy friendly & able to be enjoyed by almost anyone! And all it took were some simple swaps. Coconut oil for butter, coconut sugar instead of white sugar, and almond flour in place of all purpose!
Plus these brownies come together with less than 10 simple ingredients. We love to see it!
- Dairy Free Chocolate Chips: I recommend using dairy free semi sweet chocolate chips. This is my favorite kind and 1 cup is the perfect amount!
- Coconut Oil: 1/2 cup of refined coconut oil
- is used in this recipe. Make sure to use refined, un-refined or virgin coconut oil will leave your brownies tasting like coconut!
- Coconut Sugar: My favorite granulated sugar option is coconut sugar! It is refined sugar free and is what goes in most of my treats. 2/3 cup will do!
- Eggs: 2 eggs are used in this fudgy gluten free brownie recipe! They are whipped up to help make that signature crinkly top in a brownie.
- Almond Flour: Almond flour is a grain free & gluten free flour! It is also a favorite of mine. You will need 1/4 cup for these brownies!
- Cocoa Powder: 1/4 cup of cocoa powder gives these dairy free brownies the perfect chocolate flavor!
- Vanilla Extract: I’m always a sucker for vanilla extract & think it helps make these treats taste even chocolatier! Add in 1 tsp.
- Baking Powder: 1/2 tsp of baking powder helps to perfectly bake these brownies.
- Salt: Last but not least, salt! 1/4 tsp is all you need.
How to make Perfectly Fudgy Dairy & Gluten Free Brownies…
Set the oven to 350 degrees.
In a microwave safe bowl combine the coconut oil and dairy free chocolate chips. Melt in the microwave. I like to cook in 10-15 second intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is fully melted.
Next transfer the melted chocolate to a large mixing bowl if it is not already in one. Add in the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and combine evenly.
In a separate bowl whisk the two eggs for about a minute and until they are slightly foamy with bubbles on the top. Then add the whisked eggs to the melted chocolate mixture. Combine until smooth.
Next add in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
Transfer the brownie batter to a greased or lined 8×8 baking dish. Spread out evenly and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let cool, and cut into squares. Enjoy!
Tips for perfect brownies every time…
Whisk the eggs for perfect crinkly brownie tops!
Like mentioned in the instructions, you don’t just add the eggs straight into this batter and mix! You want to whisk the eggs on their own for about a minute, until slightly foamy and bubbly. To be honest with you guys, I don’t know the exact science of how this works but I do know that egg whisking leads to a crinkly, crunchy brownie top!
Bake these brownies only for the allotted time!
For perfectly fudgy brownies, you do not want to over bake them! You might be skeptical that these brownies are ready after the 25 minutes, but trust me they are. The brownies will cook even after you remove them from the oven and set completely while the cool. This helps them become the most perfect brownie texture! And plus under baked is always better than over baked when it comes to a brownie.
Let cool completely before cutting into these gluten free brownies!
This tip goes hand in hand with the one above! These brownies have to set after they come out of the oven. Since they are super ooey-gooey even when cool, these brownies are even more so when fresh out of the oven! Your brownies could fall apart and create quite the mess if you cut into them too soon. They of course would still be delicious, so if you simply cannot resist … go right ahead. I do not blame you!
How to store Perfectly Fudgy Dairy & Gluten Free Brownies…
You can store these gluten free brownies in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days, in the fridge for about a week, or in the freezer for 2-3 months!

It was refreshing to find a gluten/dairy free brownie recipe without any nut butter! I would halve the sugar next time because they were too sweet for my liking, but they were good otherwise!
★★★★
I spoke too soon! These are even better the next day! Still very sweet, but they are the softest and fudgiest brownies out there!
★★★★★
Yay, thank you so much! Gotta love the fudge factor on these!!
