Best Eggless Brownies from Boxed Mix [nut free]

The best eggless brownies from boxed mix exist, and they are yours for the taking! This recipe creates brownies with a crispy-crackly top, thick, gooey-chewy centers, and loaded with a rich and sweet chocolate flavor. Undeniably the best boxed brownie I’ve ever made.

Craving a batch of rich, gooey brownies but you’re out of eggs or dealing with an egg allergy? No problem! I’ve got a delicious solution for you- welcome the new egg replacement in town: cream cheese. Making eggless brownies using a boxed mix and cream cheese brings a convenient twist to a fudgy classic.

I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to make brownies without an egg, using other substitutions (unsuccessful) and making from scratch (still working on that.) These eggless brownies are everything you could hope for. The edges and corner pieces are crisp and chewy, while the center brownies are thick, sweet and fudgy. I can’t forget to mention the crinkly-crackly top. Scrumptious!

Next time you’re at the store, grab your favorite allergy-friendly boxed brownie mix and a brick of cream cheese. I’ll bet you have the other ingredients at home – spoiler alert- it is just oil and water. No fancy or funky ingredients. Nobody has time for that.

Making eggless brownies with cream cheese provides a simple substitution for you to enjoy decadent, chewy, brownies that are just as delightful as those made with eggs. Using a boxed mix is the perfect blend of using what you likely have on hand and the convenience of a store bought product. Who doesn’t like a shortcut?!

I think we all can appreciate a baking hack like this one.

Storage tips:

Brownies will usually stay fresh at room temperature for 2-3 days in a sealed container. I prefer to either refrigerate the leftovers or even better, freeze them. If you don’t know already I love to freeze food for later, and eggless brownies are no exception. Cut the squares and wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap, then place in a ziploc bag. Freeze for up to 3 months for best freshness. Remove plastic wrapping and microwave until warm and soft when ready to eat. Additionally, you can eat them straight from the freezer. A frozen brownie is divine!

The process: How to achieve fudgy eggless boxed brownies

This shortcut recipe is so easy, making it all the better.

Soften 2 ounces of plain cream cheese, and mix into the wet ingredients. Add in your boxed brownie mix and bake according to the package directions.

Here’s what it looks like. As if you even need photo evidence.

Once all ingredients are mixed together well, pour batter into a greased pan and bake per directions on box.

Course Brownies, Dessert

Ingredients

  

• 1 box of your favorite allergy friendly brownie mix* (usually 18-20oz)
• 2 ounces plain cream cheese, (4 tablespoons) softened/warm
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup neutral oil*

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 325-350F depending on box directions. Grease a pan (I use my pullman pan for thick brownies with lots of edging, other options are 11X7, 8X8, 9X9.
• Soften cream cheese by placing on a microwave safe plate and heating for 10 seconds or until finger presses through cream cheese without resistance.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, water and oil. Mix thoroughly until it not longer looks curdled, and comes together in a creamy consistency.
• Add in the boxed brownie mix and stir until batter comes together and is well combined.
• Bake as directed- time will vary depending on pan size and preferred doneness. Approximately 30-50 minutes. Check doneness and consistency by inserting a toothpick into the center to make sure no raw batter clings to toothpick. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into it, and enjoy!

Notes

*Tips, Tricks and Substitutions

*Boxed Brownie mix– Depending on comfort level, or lack of allergy to eggs, our favorite brand is Ghirardelli triple chocolate, and Annies organic double chocolate, Use any brand you prefer between sizes of 18oz-20oz.

*Oil- I use avocado oil, but any neutral oil like canola or vegetable, or even melted butter would work.
