So if your goal is to make fudgy or gooey brownies, and they sink in the middle on cooling – you’ve succeeded! To make these gluten-free brownies dairy-free, sub out the butter for melted refined coconut oil or non-dairy butter. I substituted apple sauce for the coconut oil (to lessen the amount of fat- 1:1) and I used monk fruit (about half the amount listed above) instead of the sugar. Use a whisk to stir it around a bit to make sure there’s nothing wrong with it (like weevils or foreign objects or whatever).

Heat over medium heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula until the butter melts and the mixture lightens in color.

However, the boxed brownie batter mixtures from our childhood aren’t exactly gluten or allergy-friendly.
