Buttery Olive Oil Brownies

Who says you need butter to make brownies? They’re better with our fresh, cold-pressed Buttery Olive Oil.

Olive oil shines in desserts, especially this one. It brings richness and depth without the heaviness. Because olive oil doesn’t behave like butter, this recipe uses ripe bananas to create that same moist, dense texture. Applesauce works beautifully too.

Take the Better Than Butter challenge. Order a bottle of our Buttery Olive Oil and try it for yourself. If you don’t agree it’s better with olive oil, we’ll refund your purchase.
