I had adapted these brownies from this Eggless Double Chocolate Espresso Brownies. Before I realised the power of using avocados in baking, I had always baked these brownies with bananas which always turned out smelling of bananas reminding of banana bread instead of brownies.

The first batch I baked 10 days ago had avocado in them, but later I got thinking and wanted to bake a batch without the avocados. The thing is the avocados that I get here are so raw. I mean reallllll…raw. They take days…. no, make that more than a week for them to ripen to use in any recipe.

No amount of pampering could make them ripen sooner and me being just me can’t even think of planning 1 week ahead if I wanted to make these eggless ragi brownies in a hurry.

So these happened once again as I wanted to see how they turn out without the avocados and they tasted awesome. I had no complaints at all. These brownies were not so dense, tender and with some amazing crumbs.

I just replaced the avocados with some honey and an extra tsp of flax gel which worked super fine. This time though I topped with some ganache on kids demand. The earlier batch was just plain.

But this batch of eggless ragi brownies are totally decadent and gift worthy for this New Year to your loved ones.

You can make a vegan version of these eggless ragi brownies by replacing honey with maple syrup if you are able to get hold of it and ragi flour (finger millet flour) can also be replaced with any gluten-free flour blend of your choice.
