    Eggless Brownies

    The best eggless brownies ever. Fudgy, moist, loaded with flavor and chocolate chips, and made completely from scratch with easy pantry ingredients.

    This eggless brownie recipe is so good. The recipe is based on our awesome fudgy brownies recipe and with a few small changes we adapted it to be eggless.

    And honestly you would never know it was eggless unless someone told you.

    The fudgy texture is spot on and the chocolate flavor is there in abundance.

    And if you’re getting into some eggless baking then you’ll also love our eggless chocolate cupcakes and our eggless chocolate cookies.

    And if you just can’t WAIT for brownies to bake then check out our edible brownie batter!

    Ingredient Notes

    • Chocolate chips – you can use semi sweet or milk chocolate chips, whatever you have on hand will work great. You can also just chop up any bars of high quality premium chocolate (such as Lindt).
    • Butter – can be lightly salted or unsalted, it doesn’t make any big difference to this recipe.
    • Cocoa powder – should be natural, unsweetened (e.g. Hersheys).
    • Greek yogurt – full fat yogurt is the best to use here. An alternative option instead of Greek yogurt is to use buttermilk in the same quantity. It must be real buttermilk though, not the homemade (lemon juice + milk) version. We tested this recipe with both Greek yogurt and real buttermilk and both options worked great.

    How To Make Eggless Brownies

    Full instructions and measurements can always be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

    • Sift all purpose flour and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl and add baking powder and salt. Mix together.

    • Add butter and chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30-seconds until melted.

    • Transfer the brownie batter to a 9×9 square dish (sprayed with non-stick spray and lined with parchment paper so that there is overhang on either side) and smooth down.
    • Add extra chocolate chips to the top of the brownies.
    • Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes. You will know the brownies are done when they are dry and shiny on top. A toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies should come out with moist crumbs (or melted chocolate) but not wet batter.

    • Let the brownies cool in the pan for around 15-20 minutes and then lift them out using the parchment paper overhang.
    • Let them cool completely before cutting into squares.

    Eggless Brownie Recipe Tips

    Measure the flour correctly. If you accidentally use too much flour in these brownies then they will be dry and cakey instead of moist and fudgy. So it’s super important to measure it correctly. The best way to do this if you don’t have a food scale is to use the spoon and level method. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and then level off the top with a knife. Don’t scoop the flour and don’t pack it into your cup. If you do have a food scale then simply weigh out the flour on your food scale for perfect accuracy.

    Make it in a 9×13 baking pan. If you want to make these eggless chocolate brownies in a 9×13 baking pan instead then you can. The brownies will be thinner of course, but they still come out great. The baking time will be reduced to 25-30 minutes.

    Let the brownies firm up in the fridge for extra fudginess. For ultra fudgy brownies, once they have cooled to room temperature place them into the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving and then cut them into squares. This makes them ultra fudgy and they are really easy to cut into squares too, so it’s a win/win.

    Wait until the brownies are completely cooled before slicing. If you rush this step and slice them before they’re completely cold the brownies may crumble. So wait until they are completely cooled, and ideally, let them get cold in the fridge (see above). They will slice SO easily and be SO fudgy. Totally worth the wait.

    Storing and Freezing

    Keep them stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week.

    They are also freezer friendly for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge.
