Dairy Free Brownie (Nut, Egg Free & AIP Brownie Option)
Description
The recipe combines a grain- and nut-free flour blend with coconut sugar and salt, mixed thoroughly before adding vanilla and eggs. Separately, dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil are melted and then incorporated to create a smooth, chocolatey batter. The batter is poured into an 8x8 baking dish and baked at 350°F for about 30 minutes. Once cooled, it produces brownies that are rich, moist, and free from dairy and nuts.
Variations include an AIP-friendly version that replaces eggs with gelatin and uses pumpkin puree and non-dairy milks, as well as an eggless alternative adjusting the amounts of gelatin and pumpkin puree accordingly. The recipe notes recommend specific brands of dairy-free chocolate chips, such as Hu or Enjoy Life, for optimal texture and taste. It advises substituting ingredients thoughtfully to maintain nut- and dairy-free status while preserving brownie qualities.
This recipe suits those needing allergy-sensitive baked goods or dairy-free desserts, offering a fudgy treat that meets specific dietary restrictions. The use of gelatin in alternatives aids texture, and the use of coconut sugar provides a natural sweetness. The instructions emphasize melting chocolate with oil and stirring gently for best results.
