  1. How to do it without oven? I don’t have an oven, but really want to have homemade brownies. Please suggest appropriate changes in the recipe to make it in cooker

    1. Thank you for your query. Yes, you can make eggless brownies without an oven. You can bake them on a stovetop using a pressure cooker, heavy pan, or heavy kadai.

      You can check my Pressure Cooker Cake recipe for the method.

      You can follow the same recipe. No changes are needed in the ingredients or batter. The timing may change. Hope this helps!

  2. Hi. I have tried your brownie recipe. It was tasty . But it wasn’t soft at all. Don’t know what went wrong. Please suggest as I had exactly followed your measurements.5 stars

    1. The softness comes from the baking powder’s reaction with the other ingredients. If the baking powder is not fresh and active the brownie won’t be soft.

      Whenever making any baked goods, it is better to check the freshness of the baking powder or baking soda by mixing either in a bit of vinegar and water solution. If either bubbles and fizzes they are fresh and active.

      I hope this helps.

  3. Hi Dassana, I tried out this easy recipe today! Thank you.
    I did all the steps as mentioned ,it came out good but it tasted a little bitter ,could you help me out why it happened?
    I used Hershey’s cocoa unsweetened & added some chopped walnuts.4 stars

    1. The bitterness could be due to the quality of cocoa or oil. If you have used vanilla essence instead of extract, this can also make the cocoa taste bitter. If using vanilla essence, then ¼ teaspoon can be added. I hope this helps.

  4. heyaa!! loved your recipe i have been looking for a good eggless brownie recipe and came across your recipe just wanted to check whether this recipe would fit in a rectangle baking pan (if yes, then do i need a trimming in the measurements??) as i do not have a square one and i really wanna try making some brownies

  5. hi, i am using morphy richards otg when i make a brownie it is uncooked &became rubbery.please can you tell me the temperature & timer.sometimes cakes also become uncooked.can you help me.

    1. temperature to bake is 180 degrees celsius. timing will vary, but you can consider an approximate time of 25 to 40 minutes. try keeping the cake in the center rack and use both the top and bottom heating elements. rubbery can be due to overmixing the batter and baking soda or baking powder not being fresh for eggless cakes. hope this helps.

    1. yes you can use all purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour in all recipes. just add less liquids like water or milk as whole wheat flour absorbs more water or milk than all purpose flour.

  6. Hi dear….. i have a bajaj 35 lt oven and it has two modes… a bake mode with only bottom element on and a toast mode with both elements on….so according to you i should use the toast mode instead of bake mode? I am a bit confused

    1. i also have the same oven. you can use either. sometimes i use the toast mode and sometimes only the bake mode. in bake mode, the top does not get browned or gets browned very less. so for this recipe you can use the bake mode.

  7. Hi dassana … M a huge fan of urs i follow almost each recipe of urs.. .. this choco brownie i have tried turned out to be a block buster.. Instead of baking it into tray i baked it into silicon cupcakes mould nd it was really fantastic…!

  8. Hi dassana amit..
    I tried this recipe and with your reply it turn out to be superhit.. Now i want to make brownie of triple quantity . So what quantity of all d ingredients should be..??
    Thanx in advance.5 stars

      1. Thanx for your reply Amit… i want to make this recipe with triple quantity what changes i need to make with all the ingredients..??”5 stars

      2. My brownie got stick to the baking tray itself… after some tapping it came out to be broken.. is it because i have reduced the quantity of oil or something else5 stars

        1. prachi, i don’t thick is because of that. i hope its not a new pan. in new cake pans or tins cakes or brownies do tend to gets stuck for the first time. also grease the pan well with oil or butter.

  9. Hi mam…Ur blog is awesome…Almost all recipes hav come out well…I had a query…Can I use microwave mode for these brownies??

  10. I used the exact measurements given in the recipe… Yet the brownie didn’t turn out well ????… Even after baking it for 1 hr, the brownie was not cooked from the inside… And there was a lot of oil… So much that eventually I had to dispose the whole thing off … I have standard measuring cups and a weighing machine as well… But no idea why this happened. I baked the brownie on convention mode at 180 C… Pls help because I’m a strict vegetarian… I don’t use eggs in my recipes… And I have great interest in baking eggless recipes at home… But I’m not at all satisfied with this one????

    1. pratiksha, looks like the brownie mixture has got fried in the oven. meaning there has been no even mixing or too much mixing of the batter. as a result the oil is released from the sides. one hour is a long time. its not that the brownie has not got baked. either due to uneven mixing or too much mixing, the texture has got ruined. these brownies are soft. if the batter is under mixed or over mixed, it will spoil the texture of the brownies. care has to be taken when mixing or folding eggless cake batters. always mix with light pressure from the hands. hope this helps.

  11. Hi dassana, I tried this recipe today the exact measurements( using a cup as a reference) but it did not turn out well. I baked it in convection mode in microwave ( 180 C) but even after nearly 50 min it was bubbly. The oil separated. The top layer did get a bit cooked but the inside the batter almost retained the original consistency. I took it out after 50 min and when I tilted the tin, some oil actually trickled out. The surface too was very oily. Any suggestions? I was wondering is 1/2 cup flour too less ?

    1. pooja, with a cup the measurements would change drastically. for baking recipes its always better to go by the gram measurement or use the exact cup measure as given in the recipe. the oil does not separate in the recipe. looks like the cup reference you used yielded less flour. 1/2 cup is not less as cocoa powder is also added. in brownies less flour is used as compared to cakes. i would suggest to get a good set of measuring cups and spoons if you plan to bake often. better to buy steel cups as they are sturdy and strong. you can buy them online on amazon.in

  12. I completely followed the recipe. But my brownie went crisp like biscuit in sides and uncooked inside.
    What should I do to make brownie ?4 stars

    1. what temperature you baked and did you preheat the oven. looks like the temperature in the oven which you are using is very hot and thats why the brownies are too much cooked from outside. oven temperatures should be calibrated over a period of time. its basically you set one temperature but the actual temperature inside the oven is different. it can be less or more. on google you can find methods on how calibration is done.

  13. Hi mam… I ‘ve tried so many of your recipes .. and all turned out so well.. my kids love brownies and I saw this version of white chocolate brownie.. and I would like you to please guide us doing this your way… please do consider my request 4 stars

  14. Hi ma’am,

    I’ve tried many of your recipes and so far all of them have come out very well. In fact, I’ve developed a taste for cooking after following your blog. Thanks a ton there!

    As regards this recipe, I have a BAJAJ MAJESTY 28L OTG, wherein both the top and bottom elements are ON in the TOAST option while in the BAKE option only the bottom elements remain ON. So, do I need to TOAST the brownies?

    1. Welcome Sampada. that is the option they mention. but it does not literally mean that the brownies will get toasted. even i have the bajaj oven at home. but since your oven is slightly smaller, i suggest you to only use the bottom heating element.

  15. Hi Dassana,
    What would be the temperature to bake if I double the quantity of the ingredients??

  16. Hi Dassana ,
    I want to make this brownie in a 13 * 9 inch pan. Can you please help me with the exact measurements? Thank you in advance !!! Btw I love all of your recipes and the website for the design , detailed recipes and photos. I keep trying them every now and then.

    1. paps, a 13*9 inch pan will be large for this amount of brownie batter. they will get flattened too much. while baking this can affect the texture. for this size pan, you can double the recipe. but add less oil in it. so you can add about 5 to 6 tbsp oil overall in the doubled recipe. sugar can be added less or more depending on your choice. i think the recipe if doubled will work. also add water less or more, depending on the quality of flour. keep some hot water handy. thanks a lot paps.

  17. Tried this recipe just now..it came out really good..Your website/application is beautifully presented and inspiring me to cook varieties ???

  18. Hi .. if I m using maida inplace of atta, does the water quantity remain the same ? And what about the other ingredients

  19. My brownies always crumble, stick to the pan, cannot cut into pieces, pls suggest a solution. I tried so many other recipes also using grated chocolate and butter, then too it was crumbly. Pls help5 stars

    1. looks like they are getting overdone. firstly bake reduce the temp to 15 or 20 degrees celsius, than what is given in the recipe. e.g. if a recipe calls for 180 degrees celsius, the use 165 or 160 degrees celsius. grease the pan very well with butter or oil. try adding some more liquids like water or milk or whatever the recipe has asked for. if the batter is dry, then also the brownies will become crumbly. the amount of water or milk or any liquids to be added depends on the quality of flour you are using. so could be the flour you are using requires more water or milk to be added. hope these suggestions help you pooja.

      1. I will surely work on the points you mentioned, thanks for the help and yes one thing i forgot to tell you is that in spite of being crumbly brownies were tasty as ever

  20. ok just tasted . it’s raw.. have baked it for thirty min..anything I can do to save it now?

  21. Hi ma’am, my brownie came out well…taste was perfect…but it didn’t rise much…also if I need to increase the quantity what should be the proportion.tia

    1. thanks soumya. brownies don’t rise much like cakes. just increase all the ingredients proportionately. in case if the batter looks too thick, then you can add some more water or milk.

  22. I followed everything to t. also got batter like in pic. but my brownies are boiling in the oven! what to do?

  23. the water sugar and coco powder mixture was so much for 1/2 cup aata. do we have to keep boiling till it reduces my batter was very thin i had to add more aata into it and the whole brownie was spoiled.

    1. the recipe is tried and tested. you have to just bring the solution to a boil and then immediately add to the atta. the cocoa solution does not need to be boiled till it reduces. depending on the quality of atta flour, less or more water is required. at times some atta flour absorb more water. and at times the flour absorb less water. what you did was right, by adding some more atta. did you use all the rest of the ingredient proportions correctly. let me know.

  24. Perfect as always! They tasted so good, half of it was finished before dessert. We paired it with custard to make a yummy dessert.
    Looking forward to more baking recepies from you5 stars

  25. I am a big dark chocolate lover and i love your brownies!! Second time i even reduced the amount of sugar as per my taste and made a branch of this brownies only for myself (secretly from my family ))) by the way sounds ridiculous but i cooked brownies in the skillet without oven just in 20 min and they came out perfect as in the oven ones! Thank you!5 stars

    1. thanks ksenia. great to know that brownies made on skillet came out perfect. thanks for sharing this. i have never tried making brownies or muffins in a skillet. i should give a try. and yes its nice to sometimes to just do things for oneself 🙂

  26. Hi dassana!!will definately try dis recipe soon!u were abt to post sponge cake s recipe.when u r going to dat?

  27. My brownie tasted good but was sticky and moist from inside, i mean i cudnt even cut it into pieces i baked it for quite long still, n my batter was also little loose, can you help me

      1. Hi, i didnt mix it too much, but yes i didnt pre heat the oven, i baked for around 30 to 35 mints, and one more question, i have prestige 9 ltr potg, i wish to buy a new appliance for baking can u suggest me which one shud i buy. And i do not understand the difference between convection and otg, sorry for asking too many question ?

        1. fine. the reason for the brownie for not baking well is the preheating. a minimum of 15 minutes preheat time should be given for any cake or muffin recipe. when the batter goes in the oven, the oven has to be hot and not at room temperature. so when the oven is not preheated, then the cake won’t rise well and also this affects the texture of the cake. moreover the baking time also increases.

          a convection oven is an oven which has a fan. an OTG is a regular oven without a fan. microwave ovens having convection mode also have fan. currently i am using bajaj OTG and its a good one. previously i was using philips OTG and even that was a good oven. you can check the reviews of any brand on the internet and also ask the salesperson in the shop as to which brand is good.

    1. soha, cocoa powder where any milk solids or milk powder is not added is suitable for vegans. while buying check the contents in the pack. most cocoa powder do not have any milk solids added, so they are suitable for vegans. the ones i get here are unsweetened.

  28. I made eggless chocolate brownie recipe. The taste was damn good but it didnt bake properly. There was liquid inside the cake . The measurements were perfect but it didnt bake propely.4 stars

    1. liquid means the brownie is not baked. more time was required for baking. no two oven has the same temperature and so the baking time varies. next time you allow to bake for some more minutes, than what is mentioned in the recipe. the only test for any baked cake, brownie or muffin is that the tooth pick should come out clean. but good to know you liked the taste.

    1. it depends on the size, litre capacity of the oven. so there can be no fixed time in baking recipes. sometimes some ovens bake in 10 to 15 minutes too and some take more time. so i cannot say how much time. you have to keep a check. the more you bake, you will get an idea as to how much of an average time your oven takes to bake.

  29. Can we make this browny in cooker?? Since we r not having OTG or oven …
    If yes…then plzzz guide for the same

  30. Hello mam, can we make this brownie in pressure Cooker? If yes then how much time it will take?
    I like your recipes.. They are very easy to make.. And tasty too!!

    1. if you have a convection mode in your microwave oven, then you can bake. otherwise the recipe won’t work in microwave mode. for convection mode, use 180 degrees celsius temperature for both pre heating and baking.

      1. Hi dassana amit..
        Can i use butter instead of oil and in what proportion.. and can i use milk instead of water..
        Pls guide me..
        Thanku in advance5 stars
