One of our favorite egg substitutes for brownies is also one of the simplest. By combining oil, baking powder, and water, you get everything an egg provides in one convenient package.

Substances that are capable of binding the ingredients together, helping the batter rise, and that add a rich but neutral flavor make the best egg substitutes for brownies and other baked goods. We recommend reaching for the carbonated water or making a water-oil-baking-soda mix as your go-to for creating vegan brownies.
