How to make Eggless Brownies

Prepare

Turn on the oven so you can preheat it. Line a pan with parchment paper, spraying the sides generously with oil and set aside.

Double Boil

Fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add the butter, oil and sugar in a heatproof bowl and place it over the water to create a double boiler. Whisk until the butter is melted and a grainy mixture is formed.

Mix

Remove the mixture from heat and add in the vanilla and yogurt, mixing until everything is well combined. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients up to but not including the water and chocolate chips until JUST combined. Stir in the hot water, then the chocolate chips.

Bake

Pop the pan into the oven and bake until the top is set and a bit cracked. Remove from the oven and chill for a little bit, then remove it again.

DEVOUR
Cool on the counter until room temperature, then slice and serve up your eggless brownies!

Top Tips for making Eggless Brownie Mix

Don’t Overmix: One of the most important tips I have for making brownies is to not overmix the batter. You will want to stir the mixture until everything is just moistened, as that will allow for the best chewy texture possible!
Chill: The secret to the fudgiest, chewiest brownies is to chill them for 10 minutes straight after you take them out of the oven! It helps to speed up the cooling process a bit so that the brownies don’t keep cooking once pulled from the heat.
Cool Completely: Resist temptation to slice and serve these brownies while they’re hot. The texture is best when cooled, and they will hold together better if you wait, too.

How to store Brownies

I recommend storing these brownies in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week. You can let them come to room temperature OR enjoy them cold, dense and chewy! To freeze these brownies, I recommend storing them in a freezer safe ziploc bag or airtight container and they will last for up to 3 months!

Ingredients

4 Tbsp Unsalted butter
4 Tbsp Avocado oil (or any neutral flavored oil)
1 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp Vanilla
3/4 Cup All purpose or GF 1:1 flour (125g)*
1/2 Cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (40g(
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp Hot water
1/4 Cup Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Heat your oven to 325 degrees and line the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, spraying the sides with cooking spray.
Fill a medium pot half way with water and bring to a boil. Place the butter, oil and sugar in a glass or aluminum bowl that fits in the top of then pot to create a double boiler.
Once the water boils, place the bowl on top and whisk until the butter is melted and everything forms a grainy mixture.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and yogurt.
Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda and salt JUST until mixed.
Finally, stir in the hot water. Once it’s mixed in, stir in the chocolate chips. Stir the least amount possible or the brownies might sink after cooking.
Pour into the pan and bake until the top is set and slightly crackly, about 35-40 minutes.
Immediately place in the fridge (i put it on a hot pad) for 10 minutes.
Remove from the fridge and let cool COMPLETELY.
Slice and devour!
