Ingredients For The Best Eggless Brownies

Here are the ingredients you need to make this recipe. Reference the recipe card at the bottom for exact measurements and the notes below for substitution ideas.

Dry Ingredients

• All-purpose flour: You may use gluten-free flour if necessary. I have not tested this recipe with self-rising flour.
• Cocoa powder: Select a high-quality cocoa powder such as Dutch-processed. You can also use cacao powder if you prefer.
• Baking powder and salt: Combined these work as a leavening agent to create a delicious brownie texture.

Wet Ingredients

• Mini chocolate chips: Chocolate chips are optional but highly recommended for a delicious and melty double chocolate flavor.
• Unsalted butter or vegan butter: The fat source that adds a rich and creamy flavor and adds to the texture.
• Powdered sugar and white sugar: Combine to sweeten the eggless brownies.
• Vanilla extract: Provides a warm flavor.
• Boiling water: Boiling water is added to help to create the crinkle tops.
• Applesauce: Works as an egg substitute. Greek yogurt or sour cream also works as a substitute for eggs.

Brownie Mix-in Ideas

• Chocolate chips: Add an additional layer of chocolate!
• Nuts: Add crunch by mixing in walnuts, pecans, almonds, or your favorite nuts.
• Swap out dark chocolate chips for milk or white chocolate, mocha, or peanut butter chips.
• Protein: Add protein powder or collagen to add a protein punch.
• Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

How to Make This Eggless Brownie Recipe

Below are step-by-step instructions for how to cook this recipe. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cooking time and temperatures.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 F and prepare an 8X8 glass baking pan by spraying with coconut oil spray and use parchment paper sprayed with coconut oil spray to line the pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar with boiling water. Add the melted butter and other remaining wet ingredients and mix until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, and chocolate chips. Sprinkle the dry mixture over wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Spread brownie batter into a square pan and smooth top with a spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Expert Tips for Making Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

• Do not over-mix the brownies to help them stay light and fluffy.
• Cooling: Allow eggless brownies to cool completely before cutting. They will be very gooey in the middle when they come out of the oven and the 2 hours is part of the baking process.
• For clean edges: Use a sharp knife to cut for cleaner edges. You can also run the knife under hot water for a clean cut.
• Easy removal: Line your pan with parchment paper so that you can easily pull the brownies out of the pan and cut them.

How to Freeze, Store, and Serve Brownies

• Freezing: Freeze eggless brownies for up to 2 months in the freezer using a freezer-safe container.
• Storage: Brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature and up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
• How to serve: Serve eggless brownies at room temperature or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
