How and Why I Created This Recipe
A special event was about to take place at my nephew’s school, every student had to bring something sweet or savory from home and that’s how it all started.
My nephew loves chocolate and I love making him happy, so I thought I’ll make him some brownies, some Chewy Gooey Eggless Brownies!
As much as he loves brownies, he asked me to make an eggless dessert. I asked, “how come you didn’t ask for brownies?” He told me about his friend who is allergic to eggs and mostly misses out on the good stuff served at parties. My nephew is just so sweet!
That day I knew how considerate my nephew is and he made me feel proud of him. What he didn’t know is that I’ve never made eggless brownies before, and this will be a challenge.
I really wanted him and his friend to enjoy this dessert and decided to work hard and give my best in making delicious eggless brownies.
This recipe (after a few modifications) worked like a charm. I was so happy to introduce it to my nephew’s friend.
The feedback made me humble, everyone loved my Chewy Gooey Eggless Brownies, and not only that, but the most important part was that my nephew’s friend didn’t feel left out, that was my prize.
I am sharing this recipe here for everyone to enjoy the best and most asked for dessert with family and friends.
What You Need to Make Eggless Brownies at Home
Like I mentioned above, all you need are pantry staples to quickly whip up these delicious brownies. Here’s everything you need to make them at home:
All-purpose flour: You only need simple all-purpose flour to make this recipe. No need for any special cake flour to make the best brownies ever. Told you this recipe only needs ingredients you most likely already have at home.
Bananas: This is the secret ingredient that makes this recipe incredibly moist and tender. All you need is ½ cup of mashed bananas to get going.
Sugar: We’ll be using white sugar to sweeten the recipe and also help with the moistness.
Hot water: This helps bring all the ingredients together in the batter while mixing.
Butter: We’ll be using melted butter in this recipe.
Chocolate chips: I’ve used semi-sweet chocolate chips but this recipe is incredibly versatile and you can use whichever ones you like, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips.
Vanilla extract: We only need a teaspoon of vanilla extract to take these brownies to the next level.
Baking soda: We’ll be using this since this recipe requires bananas as the special, secret ingredient.
Baking powder: This is the leavening agent that’ll give your brownies the perfect crumb texture.
How to Make Eggless Brownies – Step by Step
Making the world’s best eggless brownies at home is simpler than you think! Here’s how to make them step by step:
Start by preheating your oven to 350F or 180C. Next, line an 8 by 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
Now take a bowl and sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into it. Sift the flour with baking powder at least twice to make sure that the baking powder is mixed well.
Next, take a microwavable bowl and add the chocolate chips and butter to it. Melt them in the microwave and set them aside.
Take a different bowl and add the sugar, mashed banana, two tablespoons of hot water, vanilla extract, and the melted butter and chocolate mixture to it. Whisk it all well together.
Now add the flour mixture to the already mixed wet ingredients and fold it in. Make sure to not overmix it.
Time to bake! Pour the brownie batter into the previously prepared pan. Gently tap the baking pan on the table to remove bubbles if they have formed to achieve an even surface.
Bake the brownies in the oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out with very few crumbs.
Leave the brownies to cool in the baking pan. Don’t touch the surface of the brownies while they’re cooling down.
When your brownies have cooled down, refrigerate them for an hour before cutting and serving.
Tips to Make the BEST Eggless Brownies Ever
- Make sure to spread the brownie dough evenly in the pan otherwise, the brownie will not rise evenly. Do not over mix the dough.
- Sift the flour with baking powder at least twice to make sure that the baking powder is mixed well.
- I recommend going for good-quality chocolate chips to get the best flavor every single time.
- You can use whichever types of nuts you like in this brownie recipe as well such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans.
How to Store Eggless Brownies?
These brownies stay good for up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. You’ll find that they taste even better the next day!
If your kitchen is hot, You can also refrigerate them for up to one week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Allow the brownies to come to room temperature before having them or warm them in the microwave.

Hi Muna 🙂
Found your blog via Sandra @ Sandra’s easy cooking
You have such a wonderful blog and these brownies look great! love that they are egg-free, making it easier to vegan-ise them. thanks for sharing
Thank you all for the wonderful comments.
@Roxana, it’s nice to have you here, glad you liked the brownies, I look forward to making more egg free dishes!
I made the brownies today because my nephew is allergic to eggs. Mine didn’t come out as beautifully glossy on the top as yours, but they were definitely chocolately, moist and chewy. We found that we could definitely taste and smell the banana in them, but we love banana, so that was a plus. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for your feedback 🙂
Oh thank you!! these are delicious!! so soft, chewy and cakey. I subbed apple sauce for bananas (didnt have any on hand) and it turned out fabulous! I added some coconut and pecans on top, delicious!! and great when you haven’t any eggs on hand (or just don’t like em!)
I’m so glad that you’ve tried my recipe and liked it. Thanks a lot for the tips, I think applesauce is great substitute too 🙂
Can i use curd in place of banana.
I don’t think that you ill get the same result Rupali!
OH MY GOD,
These are the best brownies I’ve ever had.
I followed your recipe exactly, but instead of banana I used blueberry flavoured unsweetened applesauce because I was worried they might end up tasting like banana. (oh and subbed about 1/4 cup of 72% dark chocolate for chocolate chips)
Someone in my house is allergic to eggs, so I will be saving this recipe for sure!
Thanks!
I tried your version of it. They turned out great!!!! 🙂
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for the feed back 🙂
today i tried ur recipe it turned out yumm and moist i love it .. thanks for u recipe:)
Hey Vishva, thanks for trying my recipe and I’m glad that you liked it 🙂
how much applesauce?
It should be half cup.
Truly the best brownies i ‘ve ever had…Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe…
Hi Vidya, Thanks and I’m glad you liked it 🙂
Found your wonderful recipe while googling for an eggless version of choco brownie! i tried it out for a house party on saturday and it was a major hit! thanks a lot for the recipe..it would be great if you could point me out to more of ur eggless recipes (i.e. if you have any).Thanks in advance!
Hi, I’m happy that my eggless brownies were a hit! There are few Indian desserts which are eggless like gajar ka halwa and rasgulla, there is a recipe for shortbread too.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I made it for my friends and family and it was especially for a little girl who is allergic to nuts and eggs and usually misses out on dessert! We all loved it, kids and adults, people couldn’t resist going in for seconds! I heated it up again in the oven before serving with ice cream so it was lovely and gooey and it was amazing! I substituted apple sauce for the banana as I didn’t want it tasting of banana. You received the highest praise from everyone so thank you 🙂
Hi Mariam, I’m glad you and your family enjoyed my recipe, There are more eggless desserts on my blog now, and I hope you give it a try. I mostly think of kids when I make a dessert, since I know that some of them can’t have everything because of allergies.
Am making these right now! Batter tasted a little bitter though. Hopefully they turn out great!
Hie..Tried it…it was awesome in taste..but dint cum out properly evn though I had greased the tray…could you plz temme where I went wrong or what cud b the reason
Hi Varsha, first of all, thanks for trying my recipe. I guess you didn’t flour the greased pan. My trick is to refrigerate the brownies for an hour or two and then cut them, they come out easy from the pan, another easier method is to use parchment paper, it will save you time in washing and the brownies will come out easy from the pan 🙂
Hi, your receipe is wonderful. Only thing I want to ask that can we use anything else instead of banana (like vinegar or curd or..) ..?
Hi Anar, I never used anything other than bananas for this recipe.
hello I have been trying eggless brownie recipes for a long time now…i have an 11 yr old son who is allergic to eggs and trying to find a decent “close to real brownie” recipe has been quite the adventure! One recipe i “almost” loved was made with black beans pureed. The reason i say almost is because the bean skin though pureed with a professional food processor was still somewhat noticable. I decided today when i found your recipe to sub the banana out with White cannellini bean puree.the rest of the recipe i kept as is. They are cooking right now, and smell heavenly. Hoping they come out as wonderful as yours look. will update you 🙂 thanks for sharing your recipe!
Hi Joy, Thanks for trying my recipe and stopping by. I would be happy to know the final result, it might help my readers too 🙂
White beans pureed worked GREAT…. no unwanted texture or taste from them. The Brownies sunk a bit after cooling but it did not affect the taste one bit! they were chewy, fudgey and a bit crisp on the edges. Exactly what i was looking for. most eggless recipes ive tried are cakey but these were pretty close to perfection. Husband and son loved them! Thank you again for sharing your recipe 🙂
Hi wat is the cup measurements u have used? 200 or 250 ml?
Hi Rithika, one cup is 240ml, so half is 120ml.
This recipe looks wonderful, I’ve never tried eggless brownies but I surely will. Can you please tell me what can be substituted for bananas, I’m not sure if I can get good quality applesauce at the local stores where I live. Also, can I skip adding banana or applesauce altogether
You can puree medium size pealed apple and use it instead.
I’ve tried brownie recipes before, all in vain. And then I came across your recipe. It’s excellent. The brownies came out better than expected.
I do have a query, though. The first batch was made in a 8*8 pan and I made the second batch in a brownie tray. In the first batch a little patch in the middle fell down, as in fell flat. And in the brownie tray all the brownies fell flat in the middle. Any idea why this might have happened? Do you feel it might have been the soda?
Thank you once again for the awesome recipe. This one is for keeps. God bless you!
Hi Medha! This usully happens if you over mixed the brownie batter or have opened the oven door before ten minutes were up or if the oven wasn’t hot enough.
Thank you! I think it might have been the over mixing. Because the oven was hot enough and I did not open the door too soon.. 🙂 Will try with less mixing. Thanks again.
Hi the recipe sounds delish. However,beside apple sauce or any pureed fruit, can you suggest a sub for banana?
I didn’t use anything else so far, these pureed fruits give a good texture to the brownies, not sure if something else works!
do we taste the bananas in the final product. little skeptical to use bananas
Hey Mitali, if you use very ripe bananas, you will taste the flavor in the brownies, otherwise there is always a light hint of banana in the brownies which one can ignore unless you really hate bananas!
I was trying so much of eggless brownie recipes and all didnt work for me. BUT your one is the only one gave me the best ever brownies. Thank you for your effort and been that generous to share the wonderful recipe. Dear Munaty i did add few chocolate pieces to the mixure because I like the chocolate taste and is there anyway I can make it more fudgy than this. THANKS once again for sharing this wonderful recipe I used apple puree as you suggested instead of Banana because i dont like the banana flavour in brownies. It came out heavenly.
I’m glad you liked my recipe Narmada and thanks for letting me know 🙂
Can we skip the baking powder and baking soda in the recipe .. if not can it be reduced cause the baking powder suggested is quite a bit
There are no eggs in this recipe hence the baking powder. If you reduced the amount of the baking powder the brownies will be flat.
I tried making these for my parents’ anniversary (I’m their child). It was kinda a mess. I burned the chocolate and butter mixture, and the house still smells burnt right now! But I finally pulled it off in the end. I’m going to decorate it with flowers and write “Happy Anniversary” with added chocolate chips on the top. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for trying my recipe and it’s alright to mess up a recipe I do so sometimes! I appreciate your kind gesture to make your parents happy 🙂
The brownies took over 30 minutes to bake. The toothpick kept on coming out with batter on it 🙁
Hi Jess, This happens when the oven is not pre-heated. It takes around 10 to 15 minutes for an oven to preheat.
Loved this! We had no eggs on New Years Day so chose this dessert for my son’s 10th birthday. Definitely a delicious after dinner dessert 🙂 only reason I didn’t give five stars is because I had to bake it 10 minutes longer and I wish I used unsweetened applesauce instead of bananas; I LOVE bananas, but not in my brownies too much… my whole family enjoyed this treat and it feels slightly healthier to eat. I have to avoid gluten, so will be trying this out again, while replacing a few of the ingredients so it still holds!!
Thanks for trying my recipe Julie, your feedback is appreciated 🙂
This is a great fudge brownie…however the banana flavor is very strong. It tastes like chocolate banana brownies so if you are looking for just a chocolate brownie flavor this may not be the recipe you are looking for.
Hi Christine, if the banana is too ripe its smell will be stronger in the brownie.
Hi! This recipe is really good. The only issue is that it’s kinda crumbly at the bottom. Like the top is good and fudgy however when I cut it into squares and as I was Tryna remove one brownie from the tray the bottom part just crumbled or stuck on to the parchment paper. Do you know why it’s like that?
Thank you!
Hi Simran, I suggest you bake the brownies on a higher shelf next time. The heat could have been too much and have overbaked the brownies!
Can i use a cooker to bake them insted of an oven?
Hi Divyanshi, I never make these brownies in a cooker, sorry but don’t know if it will work!
These were a hit in our house! My soon who has egg/nut allergy was finally excited to have brownies! And ever one else couldn’t tell they were egg free.
Thanks Erin for your comment, I’m happy everyone enjoyed it 🙂
Hello, I attempted the eggless brownie , it tasted good but it almost resembled a cake rather than a brownie.. not sure where I went wrong.. Since the taste was good, everyone loved it! Would really appreciate if you can point out where I might have gone wrong
Hi, I’m glad that you liked how the brownie tasted. The trick with almost all brownie recipes is when to pull the brownie out of the oven. Brownies turn to moist chocolate cake when overbaked. Try to give the brownie less time in the oven when you make this recipe again, I’m sure you’ll love the outcome. Please let me know when you make it again 😊
