Gluten Free Oil Free Brownie Recipe

June 2024 - Emily Austin

We're excited to share a super fun Gluten Free Oil Free Brownie recipe using our Chelsea Approved Gluten Free Brownie Mix! This recipe is perfect for those who want a delicious, flavorful brownie without the added oil, making it a healthier and more inclusive option for all your family and friends. This gluten free oil free brownie recipe creates perfect cakey brownies, with a dense but soft consistency, and sweet chocolatey taste!

Why Choose Chelsea Approved Gluten Free Brownie Mix?

Our Brownie Mix is crafted to meet a wide range of dietary needs. It's certified vegan, gluten free, kosher, and free from the top 9 allergens (wheat, eggs, dairy, nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame, fish, shellfish), making it an ideal choice for people with food allergies or dietary restrictions. 


The mix has a short and sweet ingredient list, with all the ingredients selected to ensure delicious brownies every time:

  • Buckwheat Flour

  • Cane Sugar

  • Dairy Free Chocolate Chips

  • Molasses Powder (for that sweet caramel flavor)

  • Sea Salt


The Perfect Gluten Free Oil Free Brownie

Traditionally, our brownie mix calls for oil, water, and vanilla to create a rich, fudgy texture. However, for those looking to cut out oil, we've developed an equally delightful oil free version. This recipe uses applesauce and almond milk (or your favorite dairy-free milk) to make thick and chocolatey brownie without the need for added oil! 


The Rich, Chocolaty Goodness

What sets this gluten free oil free brownie recipe apart is the rich, chocolaty flavor and dense, cakey texture. The dairy free chocolate chips in our mix melt into the brownie, making each bite a decadent experience. The combination of buckwheat flour and molasses powder enhances the brownies' depth of flavor, ensuring they’re irresistibly delicious.

Applesauce and Dairy-Free Milk

Applesauce and dairy-free milk play crucial roles in achieving the perfect texture for this gluten-free oil-free brownie recipe. The applesauce adds moisture and a subtle sweetness, while the dairy-free milk adds a creaminess to the batter, helping the brownies hold together just like oil would. 


Why These Brownies Are So Special

This Gluten Free Oil Free Brownie recipe makes brownies that are more than just a tasty treat. They’re a testament to the versatility of the Chelsea Approved Gluten Free Brownie Mix and a celebration of inclusive baking. Whether you’re vegan, gluten free, or have other dietary restrictions, you can enjoy these brownies without worry. They’re plant-based, nut free, and of course, oil free, making them a perfect addition to any gathering or just as a delightful treat for yourself.


Sharing Is Caring

One of the best things about these brownies is that they can be shared with everyone. No more worrying about who can or cannot enjoy the dessert. These brownies are designed to be inclusive, so everyone can indulge in their fudgy goodness.
