100 Hour vs 1 Hour Vegan Fudge Brownies

December 7, 2020 By Gretchen 2 Comments

100 Hour vs 1 Hour Vegan Fudge Brownies

So what’s all the hype about?

Maybe you have seen it, the most recent trending viral video from Tasty where Alvin Zhou makes his famous 100 hour brownies!

If you are like me, you are wondering how on earth anyone can wait 100 hours for a brownie??

But more importantly, WHY?

So I got right to testing various recipes and began my trek to the bottom of this.

I found out some very interesting things!

First things first though, I had to veganize the fudge brownie recipe!

That was no problem, since I have several brownie recipes to choose from but decided to pick the one that is the easiest with the least amount of “weird ingredients” a.k.a Egg Replacers!

If you watch the video attached to this recipe you will see the process and my opinions regarding this whole idea.

But for those who just don;t have time to sit through a 12 minute video I will give you the low down straight away.

Spoiler alert!

There really was not much difference (in my opinion) between the brownie batter that sat in the refrigerator for 100 hours before baking vs. my super easy mix and bake in less than 1 hour fudge brownie recipe!

I honestly couldn’t tell the difference!

So perhaps we have been duped into believing all the hype that this amazing 100 hour brownie recipe is going to change your life or perhaps vegan brownies are just superior and start spewing magical goodness without making us wait days on end to enjoy the treasure!

100 Hour vs 1 Hour Vegan Fudge Brownies

Yeah, I think I’ll go with that answer!

But if you want to see for yourself, go ahead and make the recipe below just as I did over a span of 4 days.

Then make it again and bake them both at the same time.

I’d love to hear your comments if you do try the long version and comparison, but I think I already know your comments if you just go for the easy 1 hour recipe and have yourself some brownies ASAP!

Either way this is the best vegan fudge brownie recipe you will ever try!
