Eggless Strawberry Brownie | Whole Wheat Strawberry Brownie | Eggless Strawberry Fudge Brownie

Eggless strawberry brownie is a sweet, tangy, and chocolate flavored fudge brownie for Valentine's day but can be made on any occasion. Basically, it is kind of chocolate covered strawberries in fudgy brownie form. Eggless Strawberry brownie is easy to make brownie recipe with healthy ingredients and fresh strawberries. It is best served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or just sliced strawberries.

This recipe idea I got from MasterChef Australia "Raspberry Brownie". Due to unavailability of raspberry, I end up making with strawberry. As usual changes to the recipe, made with whole wheat and eggless. Here I replaced eggs with a flax egg and butter with olive oil. Eggless strawberry brownie came out fudgy, soft, moist and delectable. These are the perfect choice for valentine's day or make them for any party, get-together or birthday party.

How To Make Eggless Brownie?

To replace egg you can substitute with egg replacer mix or just flax egg or applesauce. I don't use banana puree for egg replacement due to its strong aroma.

How To Make Flax Egg?

It is very easy to make a flax egg. Mix 1 tbsp flaxseed powder in 3 tbsp water and keep it for 5 minutes undisturbed. It will thicken after 5 minutes. This whole mix is the replacement of 1 whole egg. So if a recipe calls for 2 eggs then I simply double it. The original recipe calls for 3 eggs for which I made 1.5 flax egg by adding 1.5 tbsp flaxseed powder in 4.5 tablespoon water.

How To Bake With Fresh Fruits?

There is nothing more tempting then using fresh fruits in baking. But it comes with some tricky part. Fresh fruits tend to leave their juice during the baking process and make the final product very soft, moist and sometimes undercooked.  There are some pointers which can help to save the final baked good.

• Use a very sharp knife while cutting fruits. This helps in cutting fruits without juicing much. A normal knife does not cut them sharply.
• Cut the larger pieces into small pieces. Fruits are heavy in the batter and will sink to the bottom while baking. So it is a good idea to chop them finely with the sharp knife before adding to the batter.
• Cover them with the dry flour before folding into the batter. This will not only help them to float in the batter but also will work not to release their juice while baking. Use flour for all recipes but if cocoa powder is being used in the recipe then roll in cocoa powder.
• It is always best to pat dry chopped fruits in order to absorb extra juice flowing. Too much fruit juice in the recipe will make it worse and ruin the recipe.
• If using frozen fruits keep them in the freezer till the time you need. There is no need to thaw them before using (as a general rule that all ingredients should be at room temperature). Cover them with the dry flour which will absorb their moisture and help to not seeping their juice.
