Ingredients

  • 3/4 c. refined coconut oil or canola oil
  • 3/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs + 1 yolk
  • 2/3 c. cocoa powder sifted
  • 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. espresso powder optional
  • 1/2 c. coarsely chopped dairy-free chocolate (see note below) or dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line an 8×8″ metal baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, add the wet ingredients: oil, sugars, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add the eggs and yolk one at a time, mixing after each addition. Then, mix for 30 seconds.
  • Let the mixture rest for 3 minutes, then repeat by mixing for 30 seconds. Repeat two more times.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, flour, salt, baking powder, and espresso powder (optional).
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients along with the chopped chocolate. Continue mixing until no white streaks remain, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

*I used Enjoy Life Mega Chunks and chopped them a little; you can also use a bar of your favorite dairy-free chocolate.
You can store these Dairy Free Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in the fridge for 1 week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Wrap the brownies in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. To reheat, simply thaw at room temperature if frozen, and if desired, warm them in the microwave to your preferred taste.
