Dairy Free Brownies: the simple recipe for making olive oil brownies

These incredible-tasting dairy free brownies are an ideal dessert if you've been hunting for an easy chocolatey treat without dairies you can make at home. Lightly crispy on the outside, with a rich, chewy, fudgy interior, these brownies are so tasty, even folks who eat dairy will want to whip up a batch.

This recipe looks similar to classic brownies, but here we replaced butter with olive oil. This version has also a slightly different mixing method that calls for mixing the eggs separately before folding them into the other ingredients as opposed to using a single bowl. It's key to getting that perfectly crisp crust on the top of the brownies. If you love fudgy, soft brownies (and really, who doesn't?) this olive oil brownie recipe made without dairies is for you.
