My egg based brownies turn out super awesome. Gooey and Fudgy with an amazing crust. But when it comes to eggless have not met success until now.

This recipe by baking Guru Anuja Sule from Simple Baking uses flax seeds as a replacement for eggs. Its soft and fudgy and left my daughter confused as to which brownie is better. And a plus as always is that the recipe is super easy to follow.
