This rich, fudgy, dairy-free brownie bars recipe was shared with us by my friend Janelle when she blogged at Talk of Tomatoes. Like classic brownies, they’re made with oil, not butter. It results in a richer chocolate flavor and dense, moist crumb.
Janelle serves these dairy-free brownie bars with a generous scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream, but we think dairy-free chocolate chip ice cream is also delicious.
Special Diet Notes: Brownie Bars
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, optionally nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, and vegetarian.
For gluten-free brownie bars, you can substitute gluten-free all-purpose flour. But let the brownies cool completely before cutting. They might be a little more crumbly.

For me, brownie bliss involves a dense, chocolaty, nut-studded, just-out-of-the-oven companion to dairy-free ice cream. And this recipe truly delivers.

Notes
Storage: A pan of these brownie bars rarely lasts more than 24 hours in my house. But leftovers can be stored like most home-baked brownies - covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or so. For longer keeping, individually wrap the brownies and freeze them. Let them defrost at room temperature, or you can use the microwave for a warm, melty brownie.

before I try these can thy be frozen? I am making a birthday tea party at the weekend and it is Monday, but I will be working all week so I need to have everything done in advance and I need my baking to be dairy free because of dairy allergies
They should freeze fine. Just let them defrost at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
