Ingredients & Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for eggless brownies. Scroll down to the recipe card for the full recipe.

The flax eggs are imperative to these gluten free Vegan brownies. Do not substitute chia eggs or a Vegan egg replacement. If you are looking for brownies with eggs, check out my Gluten Free Dairy Free Brownies.

Use Vegan dark chocolate chips. My favorite brand is Enjoy life dark chocolate chips. They melt well and taste great.

Any creamy nut butter works. I recommend using creamy almond butter or creamy cashew butter because they are more neutral tasting than peanut butter.

Pure maple syrup can be replaced by honey. I do not recommend using a granulated sweetener in place of the maple syrup.

Expert Tips & Tricks

Allow flax eggs to fully set. This takes about 15 minutes. They will start to resemble a gel (similar to an egg white) texture.

Fully melt coconut oil before stirring in chocolate chips. Then, stir until all chocolate is melted and smooth.

Use a creamy nut butter. Do not use crunchy nut butter unless you want nuts in your brownies.

Bake until middle is just set. Do not overbake!

These eggless brownies are fragile. Slice and serve only when completely cooled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do brownies taste bad without eggs?

No, brownies do not taste bad without eggs. These are rich and chocolaty!

Can I freeze these Vegan brownies?

Sure! Freeze individual brownies in a baggie. Thaw as needed.

Can I use Vegan butter or real buter?

I have only tested these with coconut oil, but I think butter or Vegan butter would work fine.

What do these taste like?

These eggless brownies taste like a rich chocolate brownie with a slight nutty flavor. This is thanks to the flaxseed.

Ingredients

9 brownies

Instructions 

  • First, make flax eggs. Combine flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Allow this mixture to sit for 15 minutes to thicken.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt coconut oil. Stir in ¼ cup dark chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour melted chocolate mixture into mixing bowl. Stir in creamy nut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  • Once combined, add almond flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. Stir to combine.
  • Fold in remaining dark chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into lined baking pan.
  • Bake for 18 to 21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Finally, allow brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • I do not recommend a replacement for the flax eggs.  Chia eggs or a Vegan egg replacer will yield much different results.
  • Use ground flaxseed, not regular flax seeds.
  • Use creamy almond butter or creamy cashew butter for best results.  Look for brands that use just nuts and salt.  Added sugars and oils will alter the brownies.
  • Use Vegan dark chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips.
  • Brownie batter will be thicker than traditional brownie batter.
  • Bake until middle is set and toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Do not over bake!
  • Allow brownies to fully cool before slicing into.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 6 days.
  • Room temperature brownies are more cake like, whereas chilled brownies are more fudge like.
