Hi.. how are you?
Thanks for the amazing recipe ??
What if i wanted to use eggs? How many should i use? And will the procedure remain the same?
Also, we don’t get applesauce where i live.. can i omit it?
Thanks once again ??
HI Thanks! The apple sauce is in place of some of the oil, so you can just replace it with oil.
Since this is a vegan blog I am not making any recipes with eggs anymore, but you can use any egg replacer instead since I know the Plant Based Egg replacer is difficult to find 🙂
Do you have a book of your recipes that are not vegan that is available for purchase?
No I’m sorry I no longer share non vegan recipes
Hello! Can I replace the pant based eggs with another vegan eggs? Flax eggs? Aquafaba? Thanks for all of your recipes! They are amazing!
This recipe was specifically suited for the Plant Based Egg, but yes you can use another proprietary blend like Bobs Red Mill for example. I have another recipe that used the flax CLICK HERE and MORE HERE
Just to make sure, Is it OK to use unsweetened?
unsweetened applesauce
Hey Gretchen,
I need the original recipe for your fudge brownies. I am not seeing it online anymore 😭😭😭
I can’t find it either & it’s my kids favourite 😢
In reply to Shara (from a few months ago, sorry I did not see this message) & Kelly
My non vegan blog is shut down
I couldn’t keep up the cost to host it on the internet and maintain it monthly anymore
The cost to host such a huge database was close to $400 a month with a tech guy monthly to keep it clean & safe and smooth.
$400 a month is a steep price to pay and I surely do not make that much in Ad revenue
Not to mention I do not feel comfortable anymore sharing recipes laden with animal ingredients promoting the very industry I loathe.
However, Thanks for your support and encouragement though the ages, I sure hope you will consider trying my amazing vegan recipes!

Hello, I was wondering if your original recipe was still available,
Hi Melina, my non vegan blog is shut down

Hello Gretchen! Is this the closest vegan recipe to your non vegan brownies? I would love to try a vegan version but was curious if these would turn out for friends to be just as delicious as the non vegan. Thank you!
Check out this recipe! It’s my latest and they are SOOOOO GOOD! CLICK HERE
Hi Gretchen, does 1 teaspoon of egg replacer equal 1 egg, the reason Im asking this is I can’t get egg replacer where I live, so for me to be able to use flax eggs, I just need to know how many eggs Im replacing, as 1 hens egg = 1 Tablespoon of flax seed.
I hope my question doesn’t offend anyone. I just need to get my ratio right!
I enjoy your work too by the way, great content!
Hey there, so…..I don’t really convert recipes like that.. meaning if a recipe had 1 egg I “always & forever use an egg replaCer equivalent to 1 Egg”
It’s just really hard for me to give an answer like that because all egg replacers are different, so it is impossible to say that there is a one size fits all way to go about it.
I will say though, that this recipe was formulated specifically for the Plant Based Egg by Freely Vegan, when I was working with Deborah in developing this product several years ago.
The problem with this (AND relying on all the other 3rd party proprietary & brand name blends for recipes) is that they become unavailable, they change their formula or more commonly not everyone can get it!
So, I have learned my lesson here!
Over the last year, I have been in all my NEW recipes: #1 not relying on proprietary blends for the egg replacer And #2 giving all the possible substitutions for egg replacers to accommodate everyone
I have been working daily as well to go back to ALL MY OLDER RECIPES Uggggh! to update them with the same information!
This recipe here that we are commenting on, was specifically formulated for the PBE I would like to point you to my newest recipe for Fudge Brownies which does not include any egg replacer at all! No flax, no 3rd parties, just straight up fudge brownie goodness with no hassle!!
