Ingredients
- Oreo’s - These add a crunch to the brownie and a creamy, vanilla flavour from the cream filling inside the biscuit and yes, they are dairy free!
- Plain Flour - I have used plain flour, however you can use self raising flour and omit the baking powder.
- Cocoa Powder - Try to use the best cocoa powder you can or you can use cacao powder, which is cocoa in its raw, unprocessed form.
- Caster Sugar
- Dairy Free Butter - In this recipe I have used Plant Flora which is a great dairy free alternative for baking.
- Dairy Free Milk - I have used unsweetened soya milk, however almond or oat milk would also be a good alternative.
- Vanilla Extract - Extract not essence!
- Baking Powder - I have added this for a bit of rise, but you can leave it out if you prefer a denser brownie.
See recipe card for quantities.
How To Make - Step By Step
Honestly, this recipe is so quick and easy to make!
Grab yourself a mixing bowl and sieve all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking powder) into the bowl.
Melt the dairy free butter in the microwave or in a saucepan on a low heat on the hob.
Add this to the dry ingredients along with the dairy free milk and vanilla extract.
Using a spatula, fold in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, moving the spatula in a “figure of 8” shape, ensuring the ingredients are combined.
Break the Oreo’s (saving 5 to place on top of the brownies) into small pieces and add these to the bowl. Fold the Oreo’s into the mixture lightly.
Pour the brownie mixture into a brownie mould or tin. I have used an 8” x 8” silicone brownie mould for this recipe. Please note you may need to adjust your cooking times if you are using a different size.
I love the silicone moulds as there is no need to grease the mould as they are completely non stick!
If using a baking tin, be sure to grease the tin before hand or line with greaseproof paper.
Break the remaining Oreo’s into quarters and place these evenly on top of the brownie mixture and bake in a hot oven for 25-30 minutes.
When cool, slice the brownies into 9 squares and serve.
Top Tip: Use a toothpick to check when the brownies are done. Stick the toothpick into the centre of the brownie, you want a bit of the mixture to stick to the toothpick, if nothing sticks when you pull it out, this means they are overcooked and the brownies will have a drier, cakey texture to them.
Top Tip: Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before you slice them. You can put them in the fridge for an hour to firm them up even more. Use a serrated knife and try to cut them through in one long, hard cut.
Substitutions & Variations
- Don’t Need Dairy Free? - If you don’t need the brownies to be dairy free you can add regular milk and butter instead of the dairy free options.
- Make It Gluten Free - Substitute the flour for a gluten free flour like this Doves Farm plain flour. You can buy gluten free Oreo’s from Amazon or substitute them for any gluten free similar biscuit. Please note I haven’t tested the brownies with gluten free flour yet.
- Variation- Sprinkle over some dairy free white chocolate buttons before cooking.
Equipment Used
Storage
Once cooled, these vegan brownies will keep in an airtight container on the kitchen side for 3 days, although they taste best on the day you cook them.
You can freeze the brownies for up to 3 months. I would recommend wrapping individually or putting in individual freezer bags. Leave on the kitchen side until fully defrosted.
Why not put in the microwave for 30 seconds and serve with some hot dairy free custard?
FAQ's
Oreo’s contain no animal products and are therefore suitable for vegans and for people who have a dairy or egg allergy. Although it does say on their website that there may be cross contamination from other products, so they are technically a “may contain”.
If you suffer from a serious anaphylactic allergy and need to avoid “may contains” you may need to avoid Oreos.
Please remember to always double check packaging as ingredients can change.
You don’t need to, but they may last a day or two longer if you do. Leave them out of the fridge for 30 minutes before eating to bring to room temperature.
The most common reason for this is cutting them before they have completely cooled. Also I recommend using a serrated knife and cutting in one full, hard cut, trying not to saw through the brownies.
