Fudge Brownies Using Yogurt As Egg Substitute
| Tweet |  |
I had a brownie mix lying in the pantry and decided to bake it using yogurt instead of eggs. Yay! it works! The brownies were fudgy and gooey. I simply followed the directions in the pack but substituted 1/4 cup yogurt instead of 1 egg. I wish I had reduced the quantity of oil or used applesauce instead of it.
| Fudge Brownies Recipe |
Prep time: 15 Mins
Cook time: 38 Mins
Yields: 16 Brownies
Bake fudgy egg free brownies using store bought brownie mix and yogurt.
Ingredients:
- One 18.25oz pack Brownie Mix of your choice (I used Duncan Hines Double Fudge Mix with Fudge Syrup)
- 1/3 cup Cold Water
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (I used Canola oil)
- 1/4 cup Plain Non Fat Yogurt (I used dry measuring cup)
- 1 teaspoon each (not mentioned in the packet) Vanilla & Almond Extract (Optional)
- 1/2 cup Slivered Almonds (Optional)
Procedure:
- Preheat oven to 350F (325F for dark color pans) for 15 minutes. While the oven is preheating toast the almonds (if using). It may take about 3-5 minutes to turn golden brown.
- Empty brownie mix into bowl.
- Measure 1/3 cup cold water in a liquid measuring mug. To the water add the yogurt and extracts and whisk it well with a fork.
- Add the yogurt mix, oil and the fudge syrup (it comes with the mix) to the brownie mix.
- Stir everything until well blended (about 40-50 strokes).
- Generously grease the brownie pan. I used a non stick 8″x8″ pan. You could also line the pan with aluminum foil with enough sheet hanging around the edges so that the brownies can be lifted with the foil after baking. I did it like this and it was a no mess job and easy to cut also. Spray the foil with some non stick oil spray.
- Spread the mixture in the pan and smooth it with a spatula and top with the toasted almonds.
- Bake it anywhere between 30-38 minutes. (Check the instructions in the package for detailed baking time). I baked mine for 40 minutes. Just be sure that the brownie cools out completely before you can cut into squares.
My Notes:
- Buying the brownie mix – If you are a vegetarian, be sure to check the ingredients, because some brands contain lard, tallow (animal fat). The brand I chose did not have animal fat.
- The instructions in the pack mentions to add 1/3 cup of oil and I did the same and felt that it was way too much. So I have changed it to 3 tablespoons in the ingredients list (which I actually tested in these fudge brownies).
- This time I followed Bee’s (Chocolate Almond Brownies) idea of lining the pan with aluminum foil and topped it with toasted almonds.

I am not a big baking person Madhu, I always come to see your recipes for their simplicity and the different alternative you choose to make them.
I made brown rice pongal on Saturday and our family loved them. My daughter had it with sambar with no complaints.
Those fudge brownies look awesome Madhu, I wish I could have them without having to bake them
Wow, I’m still yet to come up with something!
Although I eat eggs, I don’t always have them around, and having ideas like this can come in so handy… and those brownies do look amazingly dense and moist!
Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog! I have visited yours a few times before and left comments too. Love the pictures, Madhuram!
The brownies look ooey-gooey and yum!
ooh..they do look yummy! i have used soy yogurt to sub for eggs..never plain one…will try it with plain next time…
The brownies look delicious. I have a question though. I usually make brownies with cocoa powder and not with the ready mix. Can I substitute yoghurt in that recipe as well or would it work only for the ready mix? I have’nt really tried doing it your way but will surely try them. Thanks for the recipe. you rock!
It will work Sowjanya. I have tried a chocolate cake using cocoa powder and yogurt and no complaints.

[...] after all the ones that were used for Easter, then you might want to check out this mouthwatering Eggless Fudge Brownie [...]
I have always wanted to make brownies, but all the recipes have eggs and so many at that. Never thought of yoghurt as a substitute, thanks for the recipe
OMG! these look so good! and using buttermilk too. bookmarked!
I tried this recipe but with a lil modifications. The batter was very thick and dry so I added lil more oil and yoghurt. The result was decent. Also I used a different mix-Betty and Crockers.
One question – u have mentioned about fudge syrup in step 4 in the procedure – I was lil lost as I didnt see you mention about it anywhwere else in the recipe.
Thanks for ur website – it inspired me to bake
Thanks for trying the recipe Vidya. The fudge syrup comes with the brownie mix in a small packet and you just need to add it. I’ll be more specific in the post. Actually my batter was so moist, I’m thinking of cutting back the oil totally the next time I bake it. I think the fudge syrup makes the difference giving the extra moistness.
Tried this and loved it. I found that the mix was also a bit too dry but I didn’t want to add more oil or yogurt, so I used a bit of chocolate soy milk. The brownies stayed moist for quite some time. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome Esha.
this cake is juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssssssttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fabulous!!!!!
Madhu can I use pure oilve oil instead of vegetable oil in my brownies.I have vegetable oil which is of red and white co.So i dont know to use or not coz fear of smell in brownie as I dont know whether Re dand white co.is good or not.can you pls guide me.
I have been looking for a simple eggless brownie recipe for quite some time. I just have one question: is the tartness of the yogurt apparent in the brownies or does the taste of yogurt become completely hidden?
You don’t taste the yogurt at all.
thank you!
