Are Brownies Dairy Free?

In my series of brownie questions, one of the top questions was, “Are Brownies Dairy Free??”.

Not all brownies are dairy-free, but they can be! Traditional brownie recipes often call for butter, and sometimes milk or chocolate, or even toasted or malted milk powder (IYKYK). But, if you swap out the butter for plant-based alternatives like vegan butter and use dairy-free chocolate, you have dairy-free brownies!

Some recipes are made with oil, and if you’re not using milk chocolate, those will be dairy free too. Just make sure to read the back of the ingredient label of your chocolate, since, even some non-milk chocolate contains some milk.
