Eggless Brownies

This recipe yields fudgy, gooey brownies with an intense chocolate flavor, without using any eggs.
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:25 minutes
Total Time:40 minutes
Servings:16 brownies

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into cubes, at room temperature
  • 1 cup dark chocolate bars 50% to 75% cacao, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • cup water boiled
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup yogurt any kind that is full-fat
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some parchment paper hanging over both ends of the pan for easy removal later and set aside. Add the water to a pot and place over heat to bring to a boil.
  • Add the butter cubes, finely chopped chocolate, and cocoa powder to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals while stirring the mixture in-between until the chocolate and butter have melted completely. Set aside.
  • Remove the boiled water from the heat. Add the sugar to the hot water and stir it until all the sugar has dissolved, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the hot water mixture in a large mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Once smooth, stir in the yogurt until well incorporated, and then sift in the flour, salt, and cornstarch.
  • Now fold the batter gently while breaking up any lumps of flour until the batter is thick and smooth. Evenly spread the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (with moist crumbs but no wet batter) from the center.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, lift out of the pan, slice into 16 squares, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you’re using vanilla yogurt, reduce the amount of vanilla extract used by half.
  • Omit the salt if you’re using salted butter in the recipe.
  • Let them cool before slicing, otherwise, you will get ragged instead of neat cuts.
