1 Hour Brownies ~ Vegan ~ Fudgy

June 21, 2022 By Gretchen 4 Comments

By now you all have probably heard about the 100 hour vs. 1 hour fudge brownies challenge

A viral video from Tasty where Alvin Zhou makes his famous 100 hour brownies!

So what’s all the hype about?

I mean, seriously~  I can make the most amazing vegan fudge brownies in just about an hour!

100 Hour vs 1 Hour Vegan Fudge Brownies

100 hour recipe

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

More importantly, why would you even try?

Vegan Fudge Brownies

But rather than call it click bait right away, I decided to get to testing various recipes and so began my trek to get to the bottom of this.

I found out some very interesting things!

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

100 Hour vs 1 Hour Vegan Fudge Brownies

 

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 linked below, 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!

In my opinion there really was not much difference 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!

Have we 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 with their magical goodness without making us wait days on end to enjoy the treasure!

One Hour 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 four 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 one hour recipe as listed below and have yourself some brownies ASAP!

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

    In this recipe can we substitute dutch for natural cocoa since no baking soda is used as a leavener? I have a hard time finding natural cocoa in Europe.
