This Dairy Free Hollandaise Sauce is seriously to die for. This paleo sauce only takes 5 minutes to make and goes great on just about anything: steak, eggs, salmon and so much more! I remember when I first started avoiding dairy my boyfriend at the time (now husband) said let’s make a paleo hollandaise version. I was doubtful that it would taste good, but boy was I wrong! This hollandaise sauce is delicious. We love to serve it on top over gluten free toast with avocado, bacon and eggs.
You can make it fun by getting into the kitchen with your significant other and making this for breakfast together on a weekend! If you enjoy this recipe, you will also enjoy my AIP Pancakes and Gluten Free French Toast Casserole as well.

Wow, this dairy-free hollandaise sounds amazing—and super quick to
whip up! 😍 I’ve been trying to cut out dairy but still
want that rich, creamy sauce. Do you think it would work well with veggie dishes like asparagus
or roasted Brussels sprouts?
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe, it is one of my favorites as well! I think this sauce with asparagus or roasted brussel sprouts would be delicious, let me know how it turns out if you try it.

How is this recipe dairy-free when you’re using ghee?
Some people count ghee as dairy free since the milk proteins are removed. You can also use dairy free butter or coconut oil if you would prefer.
