Eggless brownies served on a white plate.

I have a confession to make. I have never got a brownie recipe right. Till now. So if you don’t trust me with this one I understand. But before you go away, just take a look at these fudgy, cakey, chocolatey homemade eggless brownies and tell me you can walk away from this deliciousness. I thought so. Since I have never been able to get brownies right, it’s all the more reason for you to know that the one that I actually post here will be fool proof!

The other day, Karan who is my boisterous, close friend asked me some technical questions about brownies. Something about making the cakey ones fudgy or vice versa. It’s real embarrassing for a food blogger to admit that they don’t know how to bake the simplest baked item in this world. I almost hid my face, but thankfully we were whatsapping. What can I do if those brownies are one disaster after another, and I had no hope with this batch too.

Icing on the cake, I was trying to master an eggless version. Ugh. I’m not too proud of myself guys, but it’s that time of the year. My Indian friends here would understand. So while all things animal produce are not to be touched, I decided I couldn’t make that stop me. And here we are. Some research, some testing and I think I’m happy. Because these were extra chocolatey, cakey and slightly fudgy too. That’s the combination I can’t stop stuffing my face with. Umm midway through that sentence I had to get up and break off a bite. Or two.

Eggless brownies - fresh out of the oven!

Baaaaydaaawaaaaaaay I have more exciting news to share, apart from these amazing brownies. My new look — of course! What do you guys think? It was a moment of insanity and a case of massive hair fall that led to this desperate attempt at looking cool, but I think I’ve pulled that off nicely enough, don’t you? Denver absolutely adores it and can’t get enough of running his hand through my non-existent hair, plus zeeerrrooo maintenance. Considering how my haircare routine stops at shampooing, I’m thrilled with this! My stylist has reached best friend status in my life now, and you can’t borrow him because he’s a cutie and was totally game about listening to me crib about my hair for half an hour! I think I should make a batch of brownies for him. How did I not think of that earlier?

Instructions

Notes

  1. Do not use curd in place of greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is thicker than homemade curd and will give a different consistency. If using homemade curd, double strain it using a muslin cloth. 
  2. This recipe requires 40 minutes at 180C in my oven. This time may vary depending on your oven and its capacity. Start checking if the brownies are cooked by inserting a fork or toothpick in the centre at the 35 minute mark. If the toothpick comes out clean, or with very few crumbs on it, it is baked. 
  3. You can add walnuts, almonds, pecans, peeled peanuts, etc., as a topping or combined with the batter. You can also add chocolate chunks, caramel candies, or even Oreo chunks.

    Hi,

    I tried this recipe today and I must say these are the best brownies I had in my life. Not even store bought are this delicious and crumbly.
    And I must say that I’m an amateur baker and most of the times, my baking fails.

    But your recipe was perfect and I could nail it. Thanks so much for sharing this with us and giving me confidence that I can bake like a pro. I’m gonna bake it again. Everyone loved it and most importantly, I loved it.

    Thanks Richa for this recipe. I can confidently say that my search for the perfect brownie recipe has ended :). I tried this with wheat flour instead of maida and with powdered jaggery instead of sugar.
    Brownies came out sooooo good – perfect texture and taste.
    Everyone loved it. I made it twice in past one week 🙂
