Yes, you can make a vegan brownie from a box mix! Just read the label to make sure the ingredients are vegan compliant. Then replace your egg with aquafaba (bean juice) a powdered egg replacer, and mashed potatoes. This recipe also used tahini paste instead of oil

Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 box Duncan Hines Brownie Mix
3 Tablespoons Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer
1/2 cup dehydrated potato flakes
9 Tablespoons aqufaba This is the liquid from a can of garbanzos beans.
1/2-3/4 cup water see note - 1 1/4 cup liquid in all
1/3 cup tahini paste
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°
Prepare a 9x9" or 7x11" baking pan with cooking spray.
Drain and save the liquid from a can of garbanzo beans. This will be a little over 1/2 cup. You will use 1 1/4 cup total liquid. Add water to the aquafaba (bean juice) to make 1 1/4 cup total. This will be a little less than 3/4 cup water.
With an electric mixer, mix all ingredients together except for chocolate chips.
Mix in chocolate chips.
Turn into prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Cook in a 350° oven for 27-35 minutes or until brownies are just pulling away from sides and center springs back slightly when touched. Be careful not to overcook. Because of the aquafaba, these brownies will be a little moister than brownies made with eggs and might not look done.

Notes

You will be using a total of 1 1/4 cup liquid in this recipe. Measure out the aquafaba first into a large glass measuring cup and then fill will water up to the 1 1/4 line. This will be between 1/2 - 3/4 cup water.
