Here’s my Thanksgiving discovery – Ghirardelli brownie mix tastes great with an egg substitute. Instead of egg I substituted 1/4 cup applesauce plus 1 teaspoon baking powder.
It’s super easy; just put all of the ingredients (mix + “egg” + milk + oil) into a bowl, stir 40 times, pour and bake in a greased pan.
I’ve had bad luck with brownie substitutions in the past, but these were great: cakey but chewy with soft chocolate chips.
The bad news is that this mix itself contains milk, so vegans and those with dairy allergies will need to use another recipe. Cherrybrook Kitchens brownie mix is a good option for you. I discussed these in a previous post.
Ghirardelli mix is available at grocery stores and at Costco in packs of six. One pack makes an 8X8 pan of brownies.
