World’s Best Eggless Brownie Recipe
A no-fuss recipe using a mixing bowl, wire whisk and everyday ingredients. The best things in life are often the simplest.
This is my go-to eggless brownie recipe and after one bite you won’t even notice that this brownie recipe has no eggs. They have the perfect intensity of chocolate flavor, they are sweet and rich, and they’re unbelievably satisfying.
The chocolate flavor comes from the cocoa powder. And to get a double dose of chocolate I have added some chocolate chips in the brownie batter. Those little melty chocolate chips in each bite will get you every time.
For some crunch, you can add roasted, chopped walnuts or pecans or almonds or any other nuts of your choice.
When it comes to eggless brownies, it is a little tricky to make and I have failed so many times. After many trials, I got success with this fool-proof recipe. And it has the best cake-like texture. To get the fudgy, gooey texture, please try my eggless chocolate brownie recipe.
I have also shared the no-bake brownie recipe.
How to make eggless brownies?
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for at least 10 minutes.
2) First, melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop. And let it cool while you prepare baking pan and other ingredients.
3) Lightly butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray 8x8 inch baking pan. Line it with parchment paper with sides up. So it will be easy to lift after it bakes. Again butter or spray the parchment paper.
4) Take all purpose flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
5) Now sift the cocoa powder.
6) And because of that, there will be no lumps of cocoa powder.
7) Mix well till incorporated well.
8) Now take melted and cooled butter in another bowl. Add yogurt and vanilla extract.
9) Whisk well till everything gets mixed.
10) Add dry flour mixture.
11) Mix well. Do not over mix.
12) Add chocolate chips or walnuts if using. And mix well.
13) Now pour the batter into prepared pan.
14) And bake it into pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean then it is ready. Let brownie cools completely in the pan on cooling rack before cutting. It takes at least 30 minutes.
15) After it cools completely, remove it to the cooling rack with the help of the parchment paper.
16) And using a sharp knife cut into 16 pieces or as per your desire.
17) Dust them with powdered sugar (optional) and serve.
I have just sprinkled some powdered sugar before serving, looks good right?
It stays good 2-3 days at room temperature. Or it can be refrigerated for 5 days in air-tight container
Serving suggestion: You can enjoy the brownies as such. Or best way to indulge is warm it up in a microwave and add a scoop of ice cream on top. Just heaven on the earth. As I am writing, my mouth is watering. Or just go crazy, make a batch of chocolate ganache and spread in on the top, let it set and then cut.
Tips for BEST Eggless Brownies:
- Here I have used dutch processed unsweetened cocoa powder. I have used Hershey's brand. The color, taste, and flavor of the brownie is purely depend on the quality and type of cocoa powder.
- I would recommend using the good quality cocoa powder, as the whole flavor depend on what kind of cocoa you are using.
- Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, go with white chocolate chips or mocha chips or dark chocolate chips.
- Instead of walnuts, use other nuts like pecans, almonds, hazelnuts. Or skip it completely, just like I did.
- One of the readers tried with oil. She used the same amount of flavorless oil like vegetable, canola, safflower in place of melted butter. As per her feedback, brownies came out good and tasted very good. You can read in the comments below.

Hi... I would give 5 stars for this recipe. They came out delicious. My kids loved it. Thank you so much .
Very glad to know that kids loved it. Thank you for the review Rathi.
Hi, I came across this recipe today and wanted to make some for some friends who are vegetarian. They loved the cake and to me it tasted pretty similar to the egg version so I will be using this recipe now too. Thank you for all the tips and details etc.
Very glad to hear it.
Thank you for the feedback Muskaan.
These were great and saved me a trip back to the grocery store for eggs! They tasted just like regular cookies. Very soft and moist. Will definitely use this recipe again!
Very glad to know that you liked.
Hi Kanan
I love this simple easy recipe, quick question...can I add mini marshmallows?
Kind Regards
Nisha
As being vegetarian, I do not eat marshmallows. So I have never worked with it.
I have not idea how it goes with addition of marshmallow.
It was absolutely disgusting! I hated it and I used all the correct ingredients but it didn’t puff up, it didn’t taste good and the amount it made was appalling!!! I’m never doing this recipe again! I DO NOT recommend it.
Sorry for you fail. But this recipe works all the time for me.
I am a beginner in baking. First time I have tried Brownie and it turned out extremely well.
Request you to assist me with one query. Will there be any change in measurement of any ingredient if I add dark melted chocolate? And at what step I can add melted chocolate and how much?
Adding melted chocolate is the huge change. You can't just replace or add something in baking. There will be many other changes and I can't tell without trying.
If you want to make brownies with melted chocolate then try this fudge like chocolate brownie recipe. The texture is completely different than this cake-like brownies.
So glad to receive your positive response. Thank you.
Would love to try Chocolate Brownie recipe, but I am still not done with enjoying your Brownie recipe.
Please ignore other comment posted today, as I didn't know that you have already replied me.
Have a beautiful day!
