Brownies were amongst the first things we learnt to make at school. I distinctly remember me and my food tech partner sharing our ingredients that we’d brought along from home. I was never a huge fan of brownies. If I fancied cake, I always played it safe and went with a basic sponge. These cola brownies, however, have been a complete game changer!! Even my Mum who doesn’t really like chocolate baked goods fell in love! Definitely worth the effort of homemade brownies! Love chocolate and eggless recipes? We have some delicious recipes here, have a look at our chocolate orange cake Chocolate Passion fruit semolina cake or chocolate and caramel ombre cake
INGREDIENTS FOR EGGLESS COCA-COLA BROWNIES
Plain flour Butter (unsalted) and dark chocolate are melted in a bain-marie until smooth Regular coca cola Condensed milk Bicarbonate of soda Baking powder Walnuts There is no need to add any extra sugar as the cola, chocolate and condensed milk provide enough sweetness.
COLA/COKE IN EGGLESS BROWNIES
The cola typically is a substitute for eggs and oil in the brownie. The result is the desirable fudgy centre with a thin crust. The result is gooey melt in the mouth brownies.
HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS COCA-COLA BROWNIES
Preheat the oven at gas mark 4 or 180C or 356F. Weigh out the ingredients. In a bain-marie, melt the butter and dark chocolate. This is easier if the butter is cut into cubes and the chocolate divided into squares. In a mixing bowl, sift the plain flour, add the bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and condensed milk Mix the butter/chocolate mixture with the flour until smooth. Add the cola to get the batter to the desired consistency and add walnuts to the mixture Spoon into a square 8×8 baking tray Bake for 22-25 minutes.
