2 Ingredient Brownies (2)

Brownies with just a handful of ingredients? Count me in.

You know that we do brownies very well around here. Whether it be by using alternative flours (like coconut or oat flour), baking them without eggs, or using sneaky ingredients (like black beans or pumpkin), we nail the taste and texture every single time.

While all these are delicious, the easiest way for some fudgy brownies is to make this two ingredient brownie recipe.

Why this recipe works

This 2 ingredient recipe came by complete accident. I was intending to make my 3 ingredient brownies but didn’t have bananas or peanut butter on hand. Instead, I tried with eggs and was THRILLED with the results!

  • There is no flour or grains. Unlike my vegan or almond flour brownies, these have neither of the two basics.
  • It’s made in one bowl. This is the kind of dessert to make that requires barely any clean up.
  • You can make it diet friendly. With a few tweaks, you can cut out the sugar, the dairy, or even the carbs.

If you are looking for a richer version of this dessert, try the 2 ingredient chocolate cake.

  • Chocolate. I like to use a chopped up chocolate bar as it melts better and honestly, tastes better than chocolate chips. Use whichever chocolate you prefer for baking

Sweetness level

As these brownies have no granulated or liquid sugar added to them, the sweetness comes from the chocolate chips. As someone who loves rich and dark flavors, I used dark chocolate (70%) but if you prefer sweetener brownies, use semi-sweet or milk chocolate.

  • Eggs. Room temperature eggs.
  • Mix-ins. This is completely optional but feel free to fold through some chopped nuts, chocolate chips (I typically add 1/4 cup for extra chocolate throughout) or even top it with some frosting.

How to make 2 ingredient brownies

Start by melting your chocolate either using the microwave or stovetop. Once melted, let it cool slightly while you prepare the eggs.

In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat until completely incorporated. Slowly add the melted chocolate into it and whisk together until a smooth batter remains. If adding mix-ins, fold them through.

Now, transfer the batter into a lined 8 x 8-inch pan and bake for 28-30 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.

Tips to make the best recipe

Just like in brownie bites or black bean brownies, incorporating the ingredients very well will yield the perfectly fudgy brownie with a crinkly top.

Here are some other tips so you are left with rich and gooey brownies every time.

  • Beat the egg whites to create cakier brownies.
  • Do not overbake the brownies as they continue to cook as they are cooling down.
  • Your melted chocolate must be cooled slightly before adding it to the whisked eggs. If not, they will begin to cook the yolks.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee or coffee extract.

Storage instructions

To store: Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week. If you’d like these to keep longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

To freeze: Place the cooled brownies in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat—in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you're going fudgy or cakey.

Can I use milk instead of water in brownie mix? ›

One change is to use milk or heavy cream instead of water. This change will make brownies more moist and gooey since milk is more fatty and flavorful than water. A second change is to use butter instead of oil. For similar reasons to using milk, butter adds a rich and more decadent quality to the batter.

What happens if I add an extra egg to brownie mix? ›

If you want to get a little more creative with your brownie mix hacks, add an extra egg to the batter.

Sourcream Tip

SOUR CREAM can also be used in place of yoghurt. Since sour cream has a higher fat content it can actually mimic the fats in an egg and make our recipe extra rich and moist. One egg can be replaced by ¼ cup of sour cream. It acts as just the perfect egg substitute!

Can you use applesauce instead of eggs in brownies? ›

Applesauce is a great neutral egg replacement, meaning you won't taste any apple in the final product. When subbing in applesauce for eggs, use ¼ cup for every egg your recipe calls for, and add an additional ½ teaspoon of baking powder to the dry ingredients.
