Penulis An eggless brownie is a type of brownie that doesn’t include eggs in its ingredients. Instead, it uses substitutes like applesauce, yogurt, or flaxseed meal to provide moisture and binding.
These brownies are often fudgy and rich, making them a popular choice for those with egg allergies or for vegans. Would you like a recipe for one?
Here’s a simple recipe for eggless brownies:
Eggless Brownies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar

- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup applesauce (or 1 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tbsp water)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Troubleshooting Common Issues:
- Brownies Too Dry
If your brownies turn out dry, you might have overbaked them. Check for doneness a few minutes early next time.
- Crumbly Texture
Ensure you’re measuring the flour correctly; too much flour can lead to a dry, crumbly result. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off.
- Uneven Baking
Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
