Lactose-Free Fudge Brownies Recipe

I have received information and materials from JOHNSON & JOHNSON CONSUMER, Inc., McNeil Nutritionals, LLC Subsidiary the makers of LACTAID^®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post.

Being lactose intolerant or dairy sensitive is a pain. Literally. People who suffer from lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity can’t enjoy many of the things that we take for granted every day. When you’re lactose intolerant or dairy sensitive, you view the world through a lens of what will or won’t cause discomfort. With so many delicious desserts out there, I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to resist, or worse, suffer the consequences after indulging in your favorite sweet treats.

But there is an answer: LACTAID®.

LACTAID^® is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. This means anyone who suffers from a lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity can enjoy their favorite foods, including cereals, desserts and even ice cream, with LACTAID^® as a replacement. Plus, LACTAID^® Milk is just as healthy as regular milk, some products even have a bonus of 20% more calcium than regular milk.

Did you know that 92% of lactose intolerant and dairy sensitive Americans say they experience “Dairy Envy” when they see other people enjoying dairy based desserts? Here are a few more stats from LACTAID^®1

• 72% of those surveyed said Valentine’s Day felt incomplete without dessert
• 76% have been embarrassed bye the symptoms of their lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity due to lactose on a date
• 68% have held back from eating dessert on Valentine’s Day due to their lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity
• 60% of lactose intolerant or dairy sensitive women would rather receive dessert over lingerie on Valentine’s Day

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought I would come up with a special recipe that both dairy-lovers and lactose intolerant people can enjoy. I took my favorite brownie recipe and made a few substitutions, including the use of LACTAID^® Chocolate Milk (for super chocolaty brownies!). In addition to zero lactose, there are no eggs or butter in this recipe… you can literally eat the batter!
