Thick, rich, chewy brownies made from scratch and ready in just 45 minutes. These irresistible bars may be dairy-free but they taste just as good as their buttery counterpart.
Something wonderful happened two days ago. I ate pasta with shaved parmesan on it for the first time in 6 months!! 🙌🏻
Back in March I said goodbye to ALL things dairy and soy. It was rough, especially at first. I was hungry and moody but wanted so badly to help our little baby get better. Thankfully he has. It was not an easy journey and to be honest I’m not sure it’s entirely over. We’re in a re-introduction phase and we’re taking things extra slow. Keeping my fingers crossed that butter, yogurt and milk are on the horizon for the both of us.
About 2 months into the elimination “diet” I was craving chocolate… hard. Most chocolate either contains milk or soy whether it’s intentional or just trace amounts from shared equipment. I found this out the hard way. Baby was upset and I was regretting my decision to indulge even if it was just tiny piece.
That’s where these brownies came in. They’re made with oil (coconut or canola) and have cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate. I added some chopped Enjoy Life chunks to them so that they would taste more like what we’re used to eating, and guess what? They were delicious! Chewy, fudgy, with a thin flakey layer of meringue on top. Craving satisfied.
