How can I replace eggs in baking?
Eggs act as a binding agent in baking. They hold the dough together firmly. They also support the effect of the raising agent, in this case the baking powder. But it is not that difficult to find alternatives that take over these functions. In this recipe we use ground flax seeds, which swell in hot water for a few minutes.
But apple sauce or other fruit purees can also be used as an egg substitute.
So you don't have to go without anything when baking if you want to follow a vegan diet.

Are the brownies also suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Instead of flour, the gluten-free Verival Sport Protein Porridge cocoa banana is added to the dough. This means that these brownies are also suitable for a low-gluten or gluten-free diet.

Tips for baking the porridge brownies
These brownies don't take long to prepare and bake. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- The list of ingredients includes instructions for hot water. We need the water to soak the flaxseed, and we also stir water into the dough at the very end. The hot water helps the ingredients to bind more quickly, reducing the amount of stirring needed. This makes the dough rise better and ensures a fluffy texture.
- Freshly baked, the brownies are very soft and therefore a little difficult to cut. It's best to let them cool before dividing them into pieces.
