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?

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.

    I made brownies as per your recipe. It came out very well. Taste was awesome. I don’t know why it turned little crumbly ?? I couldn’t cut it properly

    1. Hey Tan! Did you slice the brownies while they were still warm? It helps to wait for the brownies to cool completely before slicing to avoid them from crumbling

    I tried it. They were hard and not soft at all. You need to check your measurments they are really off. 3/4 th of all purpose flour is 120g whereas 3/4 of yogurt is 200g and 3/4 of sugar is 180g and 180 celsius is not 350 fahrenheit. It is approx 315 fahrenheit.

  3. Hi there,
    I tried your recipe but it didn’t turnout moist and chewy. Rather it was dry. What could be the reason? The baking time was 36mins.

      1. This happened with me also.. same recipe worked perfect when i tried first time in round mould.. next 2 times it kinda sinked in the middle and the borders got baked more and have become little crispy.. first time i had to cut out the border almost 0.5 inch on all side coz it was crispy and little bitter.. although the centre was fudgy and tasted delicious… any idea what could have gone wrong?

      2. Hey Rashmi, if the oven is pre-heated to 180C/350F and brownies baked for 35-40 minutes, it should bake perfectly. brownie sink in the middle if they are under-cooked. edges crisping up is normal in a brownie sometimes. hope this helps.

  6. Hi.
    I want to try this in my OTG.
    Could you tell me the temperature and time I should set to bake the brownies?

    Thanks.
