🍊 INGREDIENTS
Can you make brownies without eggs? Of course, you can, and below are the ingredients you will need. More details about the ingredients and measurements are in the recipe card below!
All-Purpose Flour: This is the foundation of your egg free brownies. It provides the structure, making sure your brownies don’t crumble apart.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: This is the key to the rich chocolate flavor in your brownies. Remember to use unsweetened cocoa powder made for baking only for the best results.
Baking Soda & Baking Powder: These are your leavening agents. They help your brownies rise just a bit, giving them that perfect fudgy, chewy texture.
Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the sweet and chocolatey flavors, making them more pronounced.
Unsalted Butter: The fat in the butter makes your brownies moist and gives them a rich, buttery flavor.
Oil: This helps keep your brownies moist and tender.
White & Brown Sugar: These two types of sugar add sweetness, with the brown sugar contributing to the fudgy texture.
Cornstarch: This acts as a replacement for eggs, helping to bind the ingredients together.
Whole Milk: Remember to use hot or boiling milk. It helps melt the ingredients properly, resulting in a smoother batter.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: These melt into the brownies as they bake, creating delightful pockets of chocolate. Be sure to use good quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
🔪 INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Preheat and prepare: Start by preheating your oven to a temperature of about 325 F/162C. Simultaneously, line a baking pan, preferably a 9×9” one, with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2
Heat milk: Heat the milk on a low flame until it reaches a simmering point.
Step 3
Prepare the wet mixture: Grab a mixing bowl and pour the hot milk into it. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, brown sugar, white sugar, oil, and butter. Cover the bowl and let it sit for about five minutes.
Step 4
Mix the ingredients: Remove the cover and mix the ingredients until you have a well-combined mixture.
Step 5
Add vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix for another minute.
Step 6
Sift dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
Step 7
Combine dry and wet ingredients: Now, add the sifted dry ingredients to your wet mixture. Mix them for a few seconds, making sure not to over mix at this point.
Step 8
Add walnuts: To this batter, add the toasted walnuts and fold them in for a few seconds.
Step 9
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the baking pan you prepared earlier. Time to bake the brownies! Bake them for about 27 minutes. If you prefer a gooier texture, you can bake them for just 22 to 24 minutes.
Step 10
Cool and cut: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about six minutes. Then, remove the brownies from the pan and place them on a cooling rack. Once they have cooled down, cut them into squares.
You can serve them immediately or store them to enjoy later. Enjoy your delicious, egg-free brownies!
👩🏽🍳 PRO TIPS
Use hot milk: When preparing your mixture, pour hot or boiling milk into a bowl; room temperature milk won’t allow the ingredients to melt properly.
Choose the right cocoa powder: Opt for unsweetened cocoa powder that is specifically designed for baking to get the best results.
Quality matters: Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips. These will melt better and give your brownies a richer taste.
Preheat the oven. Always preheat your oven. It takes around 20 to 30 minutes for the oven to reach the set temperature, which is crucial for the perfect bake.
Avoid overmixing: After adding the dry ingredients to your mixture, don’t overmix the batter. This can affect the texture of your brownies.
Adjust baking time: If you prefer gooier brownies, reduce the baking time to around 22 to 24 minutes.
📋 VARIATIONS
Turn it Vegan: If you’re following a vegan diet, this variation is perfect for you. Replace the whole milk with almond milk and use a plant-based butter alternative. The vegan version of these brownies still delivers a rich, fudgy texture.
Try it Nut-Free: If you have a nut allergy, simply leave out the toasted walnuts. Your brownies will still be deliciously rich and fudgy, just without the crunch.
Add a Mocha Punch: If you’re a coffee lover, this variation will satisfy your craving. Add one tablespoon of instant coffee to the hot milk. This will give your brownies a delightful mocha flavor, perfect for a coffee break.
🍽️ HOW TO SERVE
- For a delightful morning treat, pair these eggless brownies with a frothy cappuccino. The rich chocolate flavor of the brownies compliments the strong coffee taste perfectly.
- Looking for a dessert twist? Serve these brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast of the warm, gooey brownie with the cold, creamy ice cream is a match made in heaven.
- Hosting a kids’ party? Make a brownie sundae bar! Allow the kids to top their brownies with various toppings like whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherries. It is fun, interactive, and delicious!
💬 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

🌡️ STORING
Room Temperature: It is best to serve your egg free brownies at room temperature. If you have any leftovers, simply place them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to two days.
Refrigerate: If you want your brownies to last a bit longer. Pop the slices into an airtight container, and they’ll stay good for up to a week in the fridge.
Freeze: If you’ve made a big batch and want to save some for later, freezing is a great option. Wrap each brownie slice in plastic wrap and place them in a plastic container. They can be frozen for up to a month. Just remember to thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
Reheating Instructions: If your brownies have been stored in the refrigerator, you can reheat them in the oven at a low temperature. Make sure to monitor them closely to avoid drying them out. For the best results, consume them fresh out of the oven.
