FUDGY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES ( WITH AN EGGLESS OPTION)
Everyone loves chocolate brownies- they’re comforting, delicious and well, chocolaty! These fudgy chocolate brownies are you chocolate dreams come true. The fudgy texture of these brownies, the flaky layer on top and the rich intense flavor make this recipe a total winner. It is an absolutely no-fuss recipe that is very simple to make.
Over time, these fudgy chocolate brownies have become a favorite among my lovely people on Instagram and is probably the most re-created recipe from the blog. I get emails and messages from my readers every day who make these fudgy chocolate brownies at home and share images with me. You can also watch the step by step demo of this recipe on my Instagram stories highlight.
While I make these brownies with egg, I also share a substitute for it in the recipe below. YES! You can now make eggless fudgy chocolate brownies using this recipe and the’yre equally delicious. Just keep two things in mind- use the best quality chocolate that you can get your hands on. That makes all the difference. Also, once your brownies are baking, let them cool completely before you try and slice them. They’ll crumble very easily when they’re still hot.
I’m sure you will enjoy making and eating these fudgy chocolate brownies. If you share a picture of these on social media, please don’t forget to tag me and use #bakewithshivesh. I can’t wait to see your pictures.

Good post and straight to the point. I don’t know if this is really the best place to ask but do you folks have any ideea where to get some professional writers? Thx 🙂
How can I make it eggless?
Got my answer sorry 🙈
Could you explain what do you mean by combine eggs and sugar? I mix it separately then add the chocolate mixture?
yess
Hi Shivesh!
The recipie turned out to be AMAZING! 🤩
I just had one query , the brownies turned out to be really soft and hence they tend to break before I cut them! How can I avoid this?
Hi Rekha!
I’m so happy to hear that. If you try and cut the browies right after they’re out of the oven they will break. Let them sit in the fridge for a while. Once the butter in them becomes firm, you’ll be able to cut them without breaking
Can i replace the greek yogurt with normal yogurt?
nope
Which chocolate did you use?
My brownies always turn out unbearably sweet because the chocolate I use also has some sugar in it and with the amount of sugar mentioned in the recipes I’ve tried have always lead to an overload of sugar.
70% dark chocolate 😀
Hey Shivesh, what is the measure of 1 cup?
It’s different for each ingredient. If you’re looking for measurements in grams, you will have to google for each ingredient
If not putting walnuts, will this work out as it is?
yes
Hi Shivesh, how long do i mix the sugar and eggs for?
Hey Anshika. Mix until they’re well combined. Should not take more than 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer
Hi. Shivesh, how long do you preheat the oven for
Hi, it really depends on your oven. Usually for about 15 minutes
Can I make Greek yogurt at home..?
Hi shivesh ,
Melting chocolate should be done by double boil method or direct on heat?
Hey. Direct on heat is fine here because you’re melting it with butter
Hi shivesh! Loveeeee your recipes. What baking tin (8” or 9”?) do u use to get the perfect thickness?
Hi. Thank you soooo much. 8″ should be good
Hey. Which chocolate do you use ? Is it the compound chocolate or the regular chocolate slab ?
Hey. Regular chocolate. Please don’t use compound
Hi, is there any way to make this sugar-free? And can one use atta instead of maida?
go ahead, experiment and let me know how it turns out
Hi Shivesh
Can we make this using cocoa powder?
If yes, How much do I add?
Hi, you won’t get the fudgy texture without the cooking chocolate
Hi shivesh.. how many eggs should we use to replace 1 cup of Greek yogurt?
2 eggs
Hi Shivesh, love your page and your recipes! I tried out this recipe with Greek yoghurt twice and it turned out yum, except the brownies are quite crumbly. I could barely manage to cut a square properly without it breaking.. Thiughts? Thanks!!

Hi Nikita! thank you so much. The trick is to let the brownies cool completely before cutting into them. You can also refrigerate them for a while if you think they are very soft. When the brownies are hot, the butter is not firm and thus the brownies are crumbly. You can let the butter chill and become firm- it will be very easy to cut the brownies then. 😀
Hey Shivesh, I tried the eggless version of these brownies and they were a HIT… Thanks so much!! I have sent a pic on Insta.. Much love to you
YAYY! I am very happy to know you liked the recipe 😀
Hi Shivesh!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! I just wanted to ask you if can use any brand of dark chocolate for this ? for eg. bournville?
Thanks!!
Hey! yes you can “D
Hi, can i use condensed milk instead of greek yogurt? Would it still be 1 cup?
Hello, no you can’t replace greek yogurt with condensed milk
Heyy!
Which dark chocolate do you recommend for this recipe?
Hey! you can check out cocoa craft or regal
Hi Shivesh! I tried this recipe and the brownies turned out amazing! However, when I took them out of the oven, the centre was slightly flattened out. Any particular reason for that? Also, is there a reason for not using chocolate compound?
Can i use hung curd instead of greek yogurt??
yes
If we bake half of this quantity,what time would it take?
15-20 minutes
It’s the best chocolate brownie recipe. I had tried other recipes but somehow they were not working for me… but this did. I had toped mine with Oreo biscuits. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for this recipe.
YAAAY! I’m so happy to hear that 🙂
