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.

thanks a lot for sharing this awesome recipe. everytime we make it, my brownie sinks in the middle. do you know why this happens? The taste is heavenly though
Kanan Patel
Possible reasons
1) you may be opening the oven door often to check the brownies. because of that oven temp drops and that makes baked good sink in the middle.
2) you may be overbeating the batter and that makes the airy batter. Such baked good sinks as soon as you take out from the oven.
3) baking powder or baking soda are added without measurements (meaning eyeballed the amounts).

This is by far the best Rggless brownie recipe I have come across. I have tried many on YouTube and internet with half satisfaction but this has just got all the points from me My family couldn’t make out it was eggless

This was the very first time I've made brownies. Unfortunately the cake stuck to the parchment paper, although I oiled it generously. I saw the older comments and I understand that I overbaked the cake. On the other hand, I waited till a toothpick is dry...
I will definitely try again this recipe because otherwise the brownies came out delicious. I added hazelnuts and dark chocolate (I didn't have chocolate chips).
Thank you for the recipe!

Try checking few minutes earlier than mentioned time to avoid overbaking.
Everyone's oven behaves differently, yours might be little hot.

My oven is very odd as well. I found success by raising the oven temp to 375 and reducing time to 30 min all of this on the top rack. After the 30 turn off the heat, drop them to the bottom rack, and let sit for 10-15 min. Follow cooling directions from there!

i loved it when we did it
Kanan Patel
Glad that you loved.

This recipe is fabulous, thank you. I used oil in place of melted butter, mainly as it’s easier! Worked out perfect, slightly crispy on the outside and rich and soft on the inside. Will definitely make them again.
Kanan Patel
Good to know that oil works instead of butter.
