Chocolate Brownie (Eggless & Vegan)
August 1st, 2011 filed under Desserts, Vegan
This is a great recipe to satisfy your and your kid’s sweet tooth. Your family and guests will appreciate a dessert tray filled with chocolate brownies. These brownies are very moist and have a deep chocolate flavor.
Recipe will make 16 brownies.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup silken tofu
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour (maida, plain flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F/180c. Grease the 8×8-baking pan.
- Mix the tofu until it is smooth.
- Mix flour, salt and baking soda, set aside.
- In a mixing bowl stir together the oil, cocoa powder and sugar until its well blended. Then stir in the mixed tofu and vanilla.
- Add the flour mix and once its well-mixed, then fold-in walnuts.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan evenly and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes. Place the pan on the middle oven tray.
- Once the brownies are baked, let them cool to room temperature before cutting the brownies into squares. Cutting too early will make the brownies to crumble.
Suggestions
- Replace the walnuts with chocolate chips
- Serve with scoop of ice cream
Delicious Vegan (no tofu) Brownies
1 and 1/2 cups flour (maida)
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil (such as Canola oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Add the remaining wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour batter into a lightly greased 9×5 inch loaf pan OR you can make 12 cupcakes. Fill the batter no more than 3/4 full because it will expand as it bakes.
Bake for about 30 minutes, but start checking after about 25 minutes because ovens vary and it may take slightly more or less time.
When done, remove from oven and let cool fully before serving. You can dust them with powdered sugar (same as Confectioner’s sugar) after they’re cool.
I’ve made these many times and no one ever guesses that they’re vegan. They’re delicious!
Check your microwave instruction manual for baking in a microwave.

hi aunti!this dish really looks nice but what can we use instead of tofu
Hi Aunty,
Can this recipe be done in a microwave oven? I do not have a conventional oven. If it is possible what are the changes that need to be done. Is using tofu optional?
want to try it today..but what can be the substitute for tofu? can i use paneer instead of tofu for the eggless version??
Why should we use tofu?
Hi Aunty,

Thank you,
Bhavika
Thank you very much for a such a nice recipe……this came out really well ,all my friends liked it
Amazing recipe…all my family members loved the brownies
I substituted tofu with 2 eggs and added a lil bit of milk as my batter was too thick. I used convection option of samsung microwave and it did take a little longer than 25mins (35mins to be precise)
Overall the brownies turned out great! Thanks again Manjula…I’ll be trying your nan khatai recipe today
