Yogurt brownies, eggfree

by 93 Comments

       As I have mentioned in this post, I am craving for brownies now and then since the time I tasted them… I badly wanted to try this Yogurt brownie recipe, after I found it in the Library borrowed cook book. It was very simple to try and also liked the fact that it had no egg!
Yogurt brownies,without egg
       I actually tried this recipe twice. Since this was the first experience in making a brownie, the first time I was not sure if the consistency was right,I baked for right time and so on. Also the recipe had a measurement of water that said ‘approx.’ That was not a good sign for a beginner baker like me! So the first time,having the cake batter’s consistency in my mind,I almost doubled the water and you can guess the end result of the brownie. Though it tasted good,I was not at all happy with the texture…
         Then I asked few of my friends who have brownie baking experience and they made me clear with few points. So I was finding opportunity to try again. Then soon I tried it again with less water as mentioned and the tip ‘bake for more time and till the crust becomes crisp’ from Vibaa worked out for this recipe. I baked for more time and waited till the crust was formed well. Now I realized what mistake I did before, I just inserted a tooth pick and when it came out clean I stopped baking even before the mentioned time in the original recipe! That was a big big mistake. I think its all in the game when we try a new venture/recipe !! As sharmi always tell to me, I have to buy smaller baking pans to try more frequently…

Yogurt brownies


Sending this to Divya’s on going brownie event,in her space. Me too waiting for the event round up to hop on the brownie collections!!
Notes:

  • I used salted butter in this recipe. So if you are using unsalted,you have to add a pinch of salt in the batter.
  • I just loved the tanginess in the recipe,very very mild though,the yogurt and mixed fruit jam is the best I love in the recipe.

    Yes.. any kind of approximations in a baking recipe would unsettle me.

    I agree with you..addition of mix fruit jam is really interesting and surely would enhance the flavor..love the way the pieces have been neatly cut out:) Bookmarked for me as I am forever searching for eggless recipes..thanks.

    The eggless brownies looks absolutely great.. yah adding preserves to the cake batter enhances the flavor.. absolutely sinful .. I am seriously tempted Raji.. wish I could grab one from the monitor.

    Hi Raks,
    Thanks for this wonderful recipe. I followed it to T and it came out really well. It got done in about 32 mins in my oven and also, it did rise a bit, but I think it probably settled down while cooling to give that soft texture in the middle. Thanks a lot for these wonderful eggless recipes!

    Hi, I dont have kitchen scale so could not help you with measurement in weight sorry. If it is gooey and uncooked in the middle, make sure your baking powder is fresh in stock. Also use a broader pan and Bake until the crust is formed well. The top layer may look hard as you take it out from oven, but after few hours or next day, it will be nice to eat. If you want you can also try my latest brownie recipe I posted. http://www.rakskitchen.net/2015/03/eggless-brownie-recipe-eggless-brownies.html
