Whether you’re allergic to eggs, lactose-intolerant, or vegan, here are 30 dairy-free recipes just for you.

Milk, butter, and cheese are essential ingredients to a great many dishes. That being said, cooking for someone who can’t have dairy can be a challenge.

Enter, this amazing round-up of recipes!

If you’re looking for new dairy-free dishes to add to your weekly meal rotation, you’ve come to the right place!

From appetizers to sides to entrees, and breakfast to snacks to dinner, this list has you covered. 

Yakisoba chicken, meatloaf, Mexican rice – these recipes are distinct proof that you can have an enjoyable meal even without dairy. 

Ready for delicious dishes that are 100% dairy-free? Let’s get cooking!

Sweet and sour chicken balls is a classic Chinese dish. Served on a bed of steamed white rice, this dish is as hearty as it is delicious.

Crispy and juicy chicken cutlets are coated with seasoned flour and cornstarch and fried to crispy perfection.

The balls get drenched in a sweet, salty, and tangy sauce made of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar.

Mulligatawny soup is a traditional Indian vegan dish loaded with potatoes, lentils, carrots, and apples.

The creamy broth is made of coconut milk and tomatoes flavored with garlic, ginger, and other aromatic spices.

A portion of the vegetables is blended to yield a thicker, creamier broth.

Serve this soup with crusty bread for a hearty, comforting meal.

Ever heard of stuffing chicken with a whole can of beer? If the answer is no, you’re in for a treat! 

Beer can chicken is a method of cooking where an opened can of beer is placed inside the cavity of a chicken.

Not surprisingly, the dish is also referred to as “chicken on a throne” or “dancing chicken.”

While the effectiveness of the cooking method is yet to be proven, many people believe that the beer adds flavor and moisture to the chicken.

I, for one, am a believer! Try it, and let me know what you think.

Vegetable soup sounds kind of boring, but believe me, this soup is far from being one.

It’s hearty, cozy, and so tasty! I can eat this soup all day.

The best part? It’s a cinch to make! The ingredients are very simple – canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, vinegar, dried herbs, and whatever vegetables you have on hand. 

This soup pairs well with a simple salad or crusty bread. But trust me, you wouldn’t mind devouring it on its own, either.

This Japanese stir-fry is one of the best! 

Yakisoba is the Japanese word for “fried noodles.” The noodles are typically thick and firm and loaded with shredded meat and vegetables.

Coating the ingredients is a sweet and savory sauce that’s just too good for words.

The ingredients list may be long, but don’t let that fool you. The recipe is so easy, anyone can pull it off. 

Once you’ve tried this salad, you’d understand why Popeye loves spinach. It’s not all about nutrition, but flavor, too!

Spinach leaves, bacon, nuts, and fruits are dressed with maple balsamic.

The sweetness from the maple syrup and the acidity from the balsamic vinegar create a beautiful harmony of flavors.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can add as many salad toppings as you want. Your imagination is the limit.

Succulent pulled pork that melts in your mouth is flavored with barbecue sauce, liquid smoke, and Coke! 

The combination of sweet, tangy, savory, and smoky creates such mind-blowing flavors!

The Coke doesn’t just add sweetness, but a nice, caramelized flavor as well.

Stuff pulled pork in your favorite bread or serve it with mashed potatoes for an unforgettable meal. It’s the ultimate BBQ feast.

It’s because the sugars in the soda caramelize while slow-cooking, giving the pork that beautiful, sweet flavor.

I’ve said this many times before – the best way to cook vegetables is to roast them.

It’s the only cooking method that brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables without adding too many ingredients.

All you’ll need is olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. After just 30 minutes, your roasted vegetables are ready.  

There’s no limit to what vegetable you can roast, either.

Eggplant and zucchini, cauliflower and broccoli, potatoes and tomatoes, asparagus and Brussels sprouts – you name it.

Give your wings a sweet glaze with Coca-Cola!

Thanks to the ever-popular carbonated soda, your wings will be extra sweet, extra caramelized, and just downright addictive.

Besides the sweet glaze, the recipe also makes super-moist and juicy chicken wings that are crispy on the outside.

They get a 12/10 on both flavor and texture departments.

Enjoy the chicken alone as a game-day snack or a main entree with rice. Yum!

There’s nothing wrong with the classic potato salad, but personally, I prefer this sweet potato salad.

Sweet potatoes have, unsurprisingly, a sweeter flavor, which is a nice contrast to the rest of the ingredients.

The recipe is easy to throw together, and it’s nutritious, to boot.

Not only is it dairy-free, but also vegan, and gluten-free. More importantly, it’s delicious.

We have school cafeterias to blame for most people’s negative impression of sloppy Joes.

If you’re willing to change your mind about the misunderstood dish, though, this recipe is a must-try.

Well-seasoned beef and starchy beans are flavored with a thick barbecue sauce that screams flavor. Serve them in a bun for a hearty meal.

Just by looking at this bowl of salad, you can already tell it’s amazing. Those vibrant summer colors are stunning!

Shrimp, avocados, tomatoes, red onions, and jalapenos are already delicious.

They’re dressed with a splash of lime juice and olive oil for a refreshing finishing touch. 

Sweet bell peppers are stuffed with seasoned rice and ground beef and smothered with a rich tomato sauce.

Growing up, my mom would always make stuffed peppers for the family, so this dish brings back many childhood memories. 

To this day, I still love them, and will never get tired of them. 

This vegan pizza is so loaded, you wouldn’t even miss the cheese.

Crispy crust is topped with colorful veggies and sun-dried tomatoes, giving you one epic bite.

It doesn’t end there, though. What really gives this pizza so much life is the creamy cashew sauce.

It’s so good, I daresay it’s even better than cheese.

Meatloaf is delicious, but only if you nail the recipe. There are tons out there that claim to be the best, but most of them result in a dry and bland dish. Not this one, though.

Trisha Yearwood is a beloved musician, but she also knows a thing or two about Southern cooking.

Trust me, her meatloaf is off-the-charts amazing! It’s so moist, juicy, and absolutely delicious.

Beets, carrots, quinoa, salad, edamame, and avocados star this ridiculously tasty and nutritious salad. 

I love the bold colors and even bolder flavors! The varying levels of crunch are just fantastic. The apple cider, lime, and herb dressing ties the ingredients together beautifully.

It goes to show that wholesome doesn’t necessarily mean boring.

Beef and broccoli are such an awesome pair.

Make them even more epic by coating them with a delectable sauce of soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. 

It’s a terrific Asian dish, indeed! This homemade dish is so good it’ll put Panda Express and other popular Chinese restaurants to shame. 

There’s always room in my belly for this salmon pasta. The combination of fatty salmon and rich and creamy sauce is absolutely divine!

I know what you’re thinking – it’s impossible to make a cream sauce without dairy. But with this recipe, it is!

Just swap out the milk with almond milk, and you’re all set.

Nothing beats the classic beef stew for warming you up on a cold, rainy evening.

Loaded with fork-tender beef, vegetables, and a savory broth, this stew is undoubtedly one of the best.

The ingredients are very common – beef, potatoes, carrots, and spices.

Because everything comes together in one pot, this stew is such a snap to make.

It’s done in as fast as 20 minutes, too, so you can whip this up even on busy weeknights.

Looking for a quick and easy side dish that’s guaranteed to be a hit? Trust these baked beans to be the star of your next BBQ party.

Hearty beans are coated in a thick, sweet, and smoky sauce oozing with deliciousness.

Pair this with any BBQ protein and your meal is ready.

A Buddha bowl is a scrumptious dish that consists of grains, beans, and veggies tossed in a dressing.

This bowl of goodness isn’t only delicious, but highly nutritious, too.

Another great thing about it is you’re free to use any ingredients you please, as long as they stick to the basic formula. 

In this recipe, for instance, you’ll give the classic Buddha bowl a colorful Mexican twist by combining brown rice, black beans, sweet corn, and guacamole, to name a few.

It’s like all your favorite taco ingredients tossed in a bowl! 

You won’t believe how delectable this alfredo is. While the noodles are nice and firm, the star is the ridiculously creamy and tasty cauliflower alfredo.

Who would’ve thought that bland cauliflower florets can result in such a delightful pasta sauce? This recipe is a keeper, for sure.

Wow, 15 beans and one bowl? I’m in! This soup features a variety of beans for a hearty, comforting, feel-good dish. 

Wonderfully rich, excitingly creamy, and loaded with 15 different types of beans, you really can’t ask for more from this soup.

A word of advice, though – don’t eat this soup before an important meeting. Expect a stinky, gassy aftermath post-consumption!

This pasta tastes a lot like mac and cheese but isn’t as sinful. More importantly for vegans, it doesn’t contain mac and cheese. Awesome, am I right?

Instead of milk and cheese, the sauce is made of pureed roasted butternut squash, cashews, and nutritional yeast.

Sage and thyme add a nice, herby flavor. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius!

Move over Chipotle, this homemade black bean soup is just as rich and tasty but isn’t as pricey. 

If you’re looking for a hearty side dish for your burrito or quesadilla, this soup is exactly what you need.

This Mexican beauty is loaded with flavors and insanely easy to make!

With just a handful of ingredients – black beans and spices – you’re one step closer to this fantastic Chipotle copycat.

Whether cold or at room temperature, this soba noodle salad is delicious. Believe me, you’ll soon be adding this to your list of favorite light meals.

The noodles are tossed in a honey-soy dressing, giving you a wonderful contrast of light and hearty, sweet and salty. 

Getting bored with the usual crispy potato fries? How about a sweet and healthy alternative?

These fries are just as crunchy, but with a sweeter flavor. 

And since they’re baked, not fried, they’re totally grease- and guilt-free!

Just looking at this hearty risotto is already making me drool. Those lovely red hues are absolutely mouth-watering.

The nuttiness and chewiness of risotto rice taste so good with the rich, tomato and coconut cream sauce.

The addition of white wine brings out the sweetness of the tomatoes even more.

Add more pizazz to your usual Taco Tuesday with this easy yet flavorful Mexican rice! The color alone is already a winner.

Tomato sauce, chicken broth, and cumin give rice such a lovely combination of flavors.

It’s wonderfully rich and savory with a touch of sweetness and spice.

This deep-fried okra dish is crunchy and addictive. I never thought I could love okra this much!

If you despise the sliminess of okra, don’t worry, you won’t get any of that in this dish. There’s no slime, whatsoever, just pure crunch.

10 Favorite Dairy-Free Meals / How to adapt familiar recipes for a lactose-free diet - an article from the "What to eat" section on Food.

preheated to 180 ° C oven, and the brownie is ready. Its main feature is that, with an external elastic crust, the middle remains moist, almost viscous.

For a lactose-free diet, this recipe requires the butter to be substituted. Coconut will do an excellent job with this task, it must be taken in the same volume, or any vegetable, best of all without a pronounced smell.

Tip

If you need to make a dessert without gluten and eggs, for example, for vegans, you can replace other “controversial” products: eggs - with two small bananas (grind them with a blender into a pulp), wheat flour - with rice, corn, coconut, oat or any other gluten-free.

2. Homemade salted caramel

Salted caramel is easy to prepare. This is a universal dessert: caramel is added to ice cream or used instead of cream in a cake, eaten with a spoon or prepared mousses with it. This is sugar boiled down to brown with the addition of sea salt, butter and cream. We propose to replace the last two ingredients with lactose-free ones.

Instead of high fat milk cream, use the same amount of coconut cream. So caramel turns out much tastier than the traditional recipe. Butter can be replaced with coconut oil, mixed with cocoa butter in any proportion.

By the way, this caramel is good for treating a sore throat. It has powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Children and adults take this delicious medicine much more willingly than any powders and pills. Just give it a teaspoon three times a day at the slightest sign of a sore throat.

3. No Bake Cheesecake with Orange

Let's immediately give options for replacing products in this dish that may be intolerant: both cookies (gluten) and dairy products.

Instead of a cookie crumble, use an oatmeal and crushed nut crumble: mix the ingredients in a blender with a medium-sized banana and press into a mold. The base will be ready after an hour in the refrigerator.

For mousse and topping, use tofu instead of regular cottage cheese, or the same amount of coconut, almond, or cashew flour. Mix tofu with coconut milk instead of sour cream with sugar. The latter, by the way, can also be replaced - with honey, maple or agave syrup.

If the dessert is intended for vegetarians, you will also have to slightly modify the recipe without lactose: use agar-agar instead of gelatin for filling.

4. Cottage cheese pancakes

It is better to replace cottage cheese here with a lactose-free product based on tofu or a mass made independently from coconut or almond flour and any vegetable milk.

Please note that it should be of a fairly firm consistency.

If you need to replace a chicken egg, use aquafaba (liquid left after boiling legumes from a can is also good) or a mashed banana.

Flour can be replaced with rice or oatmeal if there is gluten intolerance, or wheat flour can be left.

These cheesecakes are best baked in paper or silicone molds so that they do not fall apart.

5. Simple oatmeal with milk and berries

Everything is simple here. The same porridge can be prepared as written in the recipe, but milk can be replaced with any vegetable analogue.

By the way

Up to 65% of all adults in the world suffer from cow protein intolerance in one form or another. But every second does not even know about it. But for years it has been treating endless runny noses, allergies, digestive problems, bloating and other unpleasant symptoms. Try giving up milk for a couple of weeks and keep an eye on your condition. You may find that without dairy products you will feel much better.

6. Rice pudding

This Asian dish is popular in Europe and the USA. In Asian countries, it is often prepared with vegetable milk: coconut or soy. With cows in some of these countries, things are not very good, they are few. But coconuts grow in abundance. Pudding is prepared with bananas, spices and aromatic additives. Perhaps it makes sense to return to the roots and try to cook a delicious and nutritious dessert according to our recipe, but with lactose-free milk.

7. Ice cream

Cream and condensed milk are the main components of this ice cream, which is prepared instantly and tastes like creme brulee. We propose to complicate the recipe a little and make it accessible for those who do not eat dairy products.

Replace condensed milk with salted caramel based on coconut cream according to the recipe above. And cream - coconut milk and crushed banana or ripe mango: take them in half to get the amount indicated in the recipe. We promise you won't be able to stop eating this ice cream. It has a bright rich tropical taste. Very original and unexpected.

8. Classic panna cotta

If you make a traditional panna cotta with a slightly different recipe, you may continue to use this variation. It has a much more noticeable rich taste of coconut, which is amazingly combined with sugar and vanilla.

Just replace regular milk with coconut milk and follow the instructions.

9. Baby soufflé

This recipe is meat. Delicate airy soufflé is prepared in a double boiler or slow cooker, it can be given to infants as complementary foods closer to a year. Chicken breast can be replaced with turkey meat or fish - it contains a huge amount of fatty amino acids, vitamins A and E.

Carrots can be replaced with pumpkin, sweet potato or zucchini, chopped spinach, beets. If you add vegetables of different colors to the bulk and lay them out in layers, you get a multi-colored dish. It will surely appeal to children of all ages. Replace regular milk with soy or almond milk - make sure it's unsweetened. Butter can be replaced with any vegetable oil.

10. Chocolate butter

Cocoa is healthy. And butter too. But, alas, it is impossible for those who suffer from milk protein intolerance. There is a simple and elegant way to make chocolate butter to the delight of children and adults. Replace butter with peanut butter and add a teaspoon of sesame. So you get an oil rich in vitamins B, A, E and K and fatty amino acids.
