Fudgy Brownies without Eggs or Milk
I'm thrilled to share a recipe for Fudgy Brownies without Eggs or Milk with you today. These chewy, gooey brownies are so delicious and chocolaty that you would never know they didn't contain milk, butter, or eggs.
Recently, a friend of mine discovered that her daughter, like my niece and nephew, can't have dairy. Such a bummer! I didn't want them to miss out on all the delicious desserts just because of a few ingredients, so I set out to create a brownie without milk or eggs.
The result? Absolutely irresistible! These fudgy brownies are so good, it's hard to stop at just one. And if that's not enough, they're topped with a rich, creamy chocolate frosting-completely dairy- and egg-free, yet decadently delicious.

How to make these brownies
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ Cup Flour
- 1 Cup Sugar
- ½ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa (I used Rodelle Baking Cocoa)
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Almond Milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- ½ Cup Oil (any neutral oil will work, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, avocado oil, etc.)
- ½ Teaspoon Vanilla
- ¾ Cup Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips (I used these mini chocolate chips!)
Instructions:
Step 1 - Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl
Step 2 - Add the almond milk, oil & vanilla with the dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3 - Spread the mixture into an 8x8 pan that's either lined with parchment paper or sprayed with a non-stick spray
Step 4 - Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Instructions
Step 1 - Mix the sugar, cornstarch, Cocoa, and salt in a saucepan
Step 2 - Whisk the water into the sugar mixture
Step 3 - Heat over medium heat until boiling, and then 1-2 minutes beyond that. Do not boil for too long, or it will get too thick

Has good texture. Taste wise, brownies are not chocolaty enough. Missing something in the taste. You don't taste the apple sauce but it is lacking something ....more chocolate...
Thank you for the feedback! We have updated the brownies and added more cocoa, as well as non-dairy chocolate chips :). We’d love for you to give it another try!
Just made it now. I used vegetable oil since I don't have an applesauce and reduced the amount of sugar since i dont want too sweeet. And I think the amount of water is interchanged. Should be 1 cup for the brownie and 1/2 cup for the frosting. And omg! It turned out great. How I wish I could post a photo. By the way, i ended up of baking this recipe because of food sensitivity /allergy of my baby. I am a nursing mother. And no egg/butter/milk for me this time.
Is this any good
