These Homemade Eggless Chocolate Brownies are here to make vegetarian brownie lovers happy and to make those dessert parties more inclusive! They are super easy to pull together, are cakey and fudgy!
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.
How to make Eggless Chocolate Brownies
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.
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?

Notes
- 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.ย
- 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.ย
- 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.ย

Ma'am Can I use beater and if I am using it will it be helpful to make it more delicious? Plz reply Bro's bday on the way ๐
Richa says
Hey Hezal, sure you can use a beater. That won't make a difference in how it tastes though
Hezal says
Please reply its urgent, why it doesnt need Baking Soda? To make it fluffy..
Richa says
Because brownies are not fluffy so you don't need baking soda for them
Shrap Alva says
Delectable easiest brownie recipe that one could find and the best part itโs eggless!! Super soft and goey. A perfect combination with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!! Must try
Richa says

Aman says

Saumya Bansal says
Hey can i use the same recepie for microwave? If yes then on what temp and for how long? I have a convection mode microwave
Richa says
Hey Saumya, the temperature remains the same. Just make sure to pre-heat your microwave
Vikram says
Hi. The middle of the brownie did not raise up as much as the sides. It was like the entire cake was thinner in the centre. Why is that?
Richa says
Hey Vikram, did you pour the batter evenly in the mould? That could be one reason
Vruti Patel says
Which chocolate did you use? Is it ok if i use compound chocolate?
Richa says
Sure that works
Aparna Reddy says
My very first attempt at baking and these brownies turned out amazing. My family loved them. Added more walnuts fot extra crunchyness. Thank you for lovely recipes.
Richa says
Thank you so so much Aparna! So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Charu Gohel says
My 17 year old daughter made it using your recipe. She followed the recipe completely. It tasted amazing but it was crumbly. Any idea why ? Also what do you think of using brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Richa says
Hey Charu, I'm sorry the brownies turned out crumbly. Did you let them cool completely before cutting into them? Also brown sugar should work well.
Lakshya says
Super simple and truly amazing !!
Richa says
Thanks Lakshya! Really glad you enjoyed these
Lakshya says
Hi Richa,
By any chance have you revised your recipe. The old print of the recipe says 1 cup APF and does not include chocolate at all. Even sugar was 200gms as compared to 180gm nows.
Richa says
Hey Lashya, I retested and updated the recipe a few weeks ago. I believe this version is better. I hope you'll try it
Lakshya says
Hi Richa
By any chance have you revised the recipe as the old printout which I have with me doesnโt have chocolate and the APF is 3/4th cup which is quite different from this recipe. Also, the amount of sugar is different in that...the old recipe seems cakey but I believe the updated one would be dense, fudgy as it contains chocolate. Pls advise.
Richa says
Hey Lakshya, I restested and improved the recipe and updated it here. I hope you'll like this version
PIyali Chatterjee says
If there was option I would have given your recipe 10 ๐. Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe.
Richa says
You are sooo sweet - thank you Piyali!
Vk says
Can i use curd instead of yogurt?
Richa says
Sure, just make sure to use hung curd
Priya says
Hey,
When I made them using granulated sugar the second the around, I used the exact same measurements and everything but they came out tasting much more sweeter. Could you help me fix that?
Richa says
Hey Priya, castor sugar and granulated sugar will give you slightly different sweetness levels, so you'll have to adjust it accordingly.
Annabelle says
Hey thank you for sharing!!
I had a question do we need to cool the chocolate butter mixture and then add yogurt or we add yogurt and let it cool
Richa says
You don't need to cool the chocolate butter mixture, since you are warming it just enough to melt the chocolate.
Rishika says
The brownies turned up deliciously...the chocolaty fragrance while baking itself was so tempting...and I infact tried it with wheat flour instead of maida but the results were the same...amazing...and took merely 30 minutes
Richa says
So glad you like this recipe Rishika. Thanks for adding the comment about substituting with whole wheat flour - I'm sure it'll help other readers.
