Question: Can I make brownies from the box without adding the eggs!?
Answers:
When I first saw this question, I thought, "bananas!" but then I was second guessing myself, so I googled it!. I found an interesting article that may help you because I never thought about what the reason for the eggs is in any given recipe, so this could effect the substitute!.

If its because you're out of eggs but still want brownies tonight, you can substitute mayonnaise!. I know, sounds gross!. But that's one of the main ingredients in mayonnaise and works like a charm!. Put in about a spoon for every egg, and reduce your oil by a tablespoon or two!.

Guarantee you won't taste it and you'll still have your brownies!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I add 1/4 cup egg substitute (has egg white) per egg!.

OR

if you can't have egg:
1 Tbsp!. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp!. water Stir together until thick and gelatinous!.

I've used applesauce as a partial substitute to oil!.

other substitutions:
2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg
2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg
2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg
1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg!.
1 banana = 1 egg in cakes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could substitue apple sauce!. But it would give the brownies a cake-like texture!. I wouldn't recomend it!. You could also use an artificial egg substitute, they sell them in grocery stores usually near the regular eggs (if you can't find it, ask an employee)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no but you can use egg subs if you check recipes!.com they will explain the correct ingredient to replace eggs, but they don't taste the same at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can use 2 ounces of egg substitute per egg instead or use egg whites instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The eggs put the mix together along with the other add ins!. It also accounts for some of the taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope - gotta have the eggs - it's kinda like the glue that holds it all together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
