Notes
Hello, I am Valentina! Welcome to How Tasty!
I am an Italian girl in love with baking and cooking. I’ve been raised in a cooking family, baking since I was a little girl and learning from my mom and my professional chef grandma.
I created the Youtube channel How Tasty in 2017 to share with you my passion.
You don’t need to be a professional cook to follow all my recipes thanks to the video tutorials and the tips & hints you can find here.
Let’s cook!
Tips:
My eggless brownies recipe features dark chocolate but you can add more magic touches like white chocolate, chopped pecan nuts and many more! It’s up to you!
You can use a hot knife to have a perfect sharp cut. You can keep it in hot water or directly on the stove top to heat it up. Remember to clean it before any new cut.
You can substitute the Muscovado dark sugar with normal white caster sugar but the brownies texture will be less chewy.
Brownies are perfecly baked when the top looks a bit dry, but the center (that you can check with a toothpick) is humid and not completely dry. A toothpick comes out humid with moist crumbs; if it comes out perfeclty clean, maybe you overbake your brownies!
These eggless brownies are awesome served warm with some ice cream on top. The hot and cold contrast will be just perfect.
