Eggless Brownies

It's a perfect fudgy Brownie recipe without eggs, so easy and quick, with an addictive intense flavour. The recipe is especially for those who avoid eggs in diet, are allergic to eggs.

Baking with eggs is so easy, eggs do wonders to baked goodies. But when it comes to baking without eggs, though there are lot egg replacers available, it many times it gives us sleepless nights especially when it is about the bakes and desserts that need egg as an essential ingredient.

When I started my Home Baking Business, a lot of clients preferred eggless bakes. For the ones who liked fudgy eggless brownies, this recipe worked the best.

Yogurt as Egg Replacer

Yogurt/Curd is used as egg- replacer and gives a moist brownie with a crust. Yoghurt or curd is one of the best egg replacers and readily available that I use it in most of my eggless bakes like cakes and cookies. It also does wonders for your bread where you don't want to use yeast (No Yeast Bread).

Ingredients for Eggless Brownies

Flour- Whole Wheat flour is a more nutritious choice as compared to all purpose flour. You can use either or a mix of both. Whole Wheat Flour Brownies are more dense then made with All Purpose flour.

You can add 2 tbsp of Cornstarch/Cornflour for light airy texture. I use Ashirwaad Multigrain Atta for baking. If you prefer Whole Wheat Flour for baking then do not use the flour which has too much barn. The texture will be very dense.

Baking Chocolate/Chips- If you are not able to get baking chocolate, you can use any baking dark chocolate chips or good quality chocolate like Cadbury or Amul. Cadbury's Bourneville 70% (for Indian Readers) of perfect to use for making brownies.

Butter- I like to make brownies with butter. You can substitute half the amount of butter with olive oil or use only oil in the recipe(that will more of chewy brownie). If using unsalted butter add ¼ tsp of salt.

Yogurt- Add yogurt as egg replacer, it makes the brownie moist and binds the batter. Vegans or those with lactose intolerance can use cashew yogurt or any plant based yogurt.

Sweetener- I use organic raw cane sugar or jaggery powder in baking. You can also use castor sugar, brown sugar or coconut palm sugar. Always prefer using raw sugars in baking due to the obvious health reasons. There are many good options available in market these days.

Others- Vanilla Essence, more Chocolate chips/chopped chocolate or nuts to add in batter.

Updated the recipe ingredient with healthy and nutritious options..

Few pointers that will help you to get a perfect brownie.

• All ingredients should be at room temperature.
• Melt Chocolate and butter on double boiler, as microwaving can overheat the butter, and at times in the final bake, oil separates.
• Use thick yoghurt or hung curd, don't use very sour or watery yogurt/curd. Greek yogurt can be used.
• Do not overbeat the batter just mix everything with light hands. Batter should be thick not like cake batter( ribbon like consistency).
• Cut brownies into pieces when completely cool. Warm brownies are difficult to handle (too soft) and may crumble. If you feel these are still too soft, leave for another 10-15 minutes, these will set. Or, refrigerate for a couple of hrs and then cut.
• If at first attempt you are not able to get a perfect bake, look for the reasons, maybe like oven temperature, the ingredients like yogurt are at room temperature or not.
• Cover the pan with foil if the center is undone and the top and sides are baked.

How do I know my (Fudgy) Brownies are done

Unbaked brownies are not good to consume as these are not palatable and also may upset stomach due to raw flour. Two ways to check for doneness:

• Physical appearance- When the brownies are done you will see some cracks on top and it will start to pull away from the corners.
• Toothpick test- For fudgy and gooey brownies, a tooth pick inserted in the center will come out with moist crumbs. Tooth pick with batter shows more time needed to bake.
